Gable Steveson explains why things didn’t work out with WWE
In April of 2024, it was reported that Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson was among a list of WWE cuts. While speaking to Joe Rogan, Steveson explained why things didn’t work out…
“Honestly, I had a great experience. I have nothing wrong with anybody there. TKO was great. Triple H, Paul Levesque, was great. Stephanie, Vince—everybody was great.
I just had a competitive drive that I needed to get out. And when you have that gap, you can’t do both. I was trying to bridge both, and I wasn’t giving my 100% to the business. And if I’m not going to give 100% to the business, then you might as well X me out because it’s already over with. So that’s practically how it happened.
I would love to go back in the future. I would love to do a sport and go out there and dominate, I would love to go back. And if it meant well, I would do it again most definitely, because I have no hard feelings toward them.”
