Former WWE talent and Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson appears to be preparing for the next chapter in his life: MMA.
Steveson signed a multi-year contract with WWE in 2021. After a highly successful amateur wrestling career, he went to training for his pro wrestling career full-time. Steveson worked a handful of live events in NXT and dark matches at SmackDown events, but his only TV match was a no-contest with Baron Corbin at an NXT PLE last year.
WWE released the Olympic gold medalist in May alongside several other NXT stars. Following his WWE exit, Steveson looked at playing pro football and joined the Buffalo Bills’ roster to try out for the regular season, but the NFL team has waived Steveson.
Last month, Steveson was seen training with UFC Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones ahead of his fight against former two-time champion Stipe Miocic at UFC 309. As seen below, Steveson showed off his skills:
