Gable Steveson was back in a WWE ring a few weeks after his in-ring debut.
The Olympic Gold Medalist beat Baron Corbin at the WWE NXT Great American Bash premium live event from the H-E-B Center at Cedar Park in Austin, Texas.
At Monday’s Raw, Stevenson did a dark segment with Dolph Ziggler. While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer recapped the segment while noting that it’s still unclear whether Steveson will start full-time with WWE or pursue another Olympic Games run in 2024.
“So he was on the show tonight. He did not, it was not on television, but he did a big angle with Dolph Ziggler. And because it was Minneapolis and because he’s from Minneapolis, he was cheered like crazy. I heard one of the biggest pops of the entire show, suplexed him around the ring when Ziggler was running down, saying that there are no heroes in Minneapolis. No wrestling heroes in Minneapolis. And, and, he came out, and they went into it. And so, I still don’t know if he’s doing the world championships or not. And nobody’s really talked about what they will do with him next for television, but he was on the show tonight. So he’s, that doesn’t mean he’s not training right now. It just means that you know, for The Worlds. If he’s training in Minneapolis, then he’s there.”
