Update on Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson and WWE

As previously noted, 2020 Olympic gold medalist wrestler Gable Steveson has expressed interest in a career with WWE.

During an interview with Justin Barrasso of SI.com, Steveson talked about a possible career in WWE…

“If I ever go to WWE, I’d be a ‘Paul Heyman Guy.’ Heyman is a legend. We’d be two people doing great things, and that would be a tough team to beat. And I’ve known Brock since I was in high school. He’s been there for me for a long time, making sure I do things the right way and put my best foot forward. WWE has been so great to me. Triple H, Brock, Heyman, Ric Flair and so many others have been so supportive. So have people from UFC, like Daniel Cormier, Jon Jones and Henry Cejudo, who have also sent me congratulations. So many great organizations and teams have reached out. A scout from the Bills, there is a connection with the Ravens. The Olympic gold medal is helping me see the world, so my next step is going to be a big decision. I’m going to decompress now and think about it.”

Steveson also noted that he will be in attendance for Summerslam in Las Vegas.
