At the recently concluded Tokyo Olympics, Gable Steveson made history when he won a gold medal, which makes him the first heavyweight in the United States to win the men’s freestyle 125kb wrestling event since 1992. It is no secret that the WWE is interested in the Olympic gold medalist wrestler and that Steveson has also shown interest in competing for the WWE in the future.
Speaking with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Steveson said he is going to SummerSlam to watch WWE Universal Champion "The Head Of The Table" Roman Reigns do his thing and even though John Cena is great, the 16-time World Champion must acknowledge Reigns.
Gable Steveson said:
“I’m heading over to Vegas to watch the champ Roman Reigns do his thing.” “John Cena is great, but he’s still going to have to acknowledge Roman Reigns.”
Steveson then talked about how if he does go to the WWE, then he would like to work with Paul Heyman.
Gable Steveson said:
“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.”
Steveson then talked about how so many great organizations and teams have reached out to him and have been great to him just like the WWE and UFC, but that he's not ready to make a decision on his future yet, so he will have to decompress and think about it.
Gable Steveson said:
“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.”
