Gable Steveson, an Olympic gold medalist and WWE NXT Superstar, will make his debut for the developmental brand. It became clear in recent weeks that Steveson was debating whether to remain in NXT or go back to school and even compete abroad. The Olympian appears to have decided to work inside the squared circle for the time being, though. On July 30 at the Great American Bash, he will face off against Baron Corbin in his opening match. When Gable decided to stay, the NXT Universe was ecstatic.
According to a WWE official who was reached by The Athletic, he has not yet decided whether or not to continue his college studies. They added that Steveson could yet decide to go back to school in the future and that he is still entitled to do so. In 2021, Steveson and the business agreed to the first-ever NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) contract. At WrestleMania 38, he appeared and even suplexed Chad Gable. On July 4 of this year, he appeared with Eddy Thorpe in an NXT underground event.
WWE has constantly raised concerns over Steveson’s future and whether he decides to go back to his amateur wrestling roots and participate in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Paris. Gable entered the ring this week on NXT while holding a microphone. Baron Corbin interrupted him. The past winner of Money in the Bank disparaged his achievements and questioned his ring prowess. The opening match for the Olympian was set up by this exchange.
Olympic gold medalist Steveson has won two NCAA championships. He has an outstanding amateur record and, if he stays with the firm, has the potential to become a huge star.
