Gable Steveson Signs WWE Contract, Leaving Wrestling Fans Intrigued
Olympic Gold Medalist's Future in Question
What's Next for the Heavyweight Champion?
Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson has sent shockwaves through the wrestling world by signing a multi-year contract with WWE, leaving many wondering about his future in the sport.
According to The Wrestling Observer Daily Update, Steveson's agent confirmed the news to ESPN's Adam Schefter, stating that his client has agreed to join the sports entertainment juggernaut.
Steveson, who won the heavyweight gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, has long been considered one of the brightest stars in wrestling. His impressive performance at the Games drew comparisons to WWE legend Kurt Angle, who also won an Olympic gold medal before transitioning to professional wrestling.
While the WWE contract offers Steveson a lucrative path, it also raises questions about his aspirations in amateur wrestling. Steveson has repeatedly expressed his desire to compete at the next Olympics in Paris 2024, but the rigorous schedule and demands of WWE could make that goal difficult.
Wrestling fans will anxiously await further developments in Steveson's career. Will he prioritize his WWE contract or pursue his Olympic dreams? Only time will tell the fate of this promising young athlete.
