WWE looks like it is set to have a man in the making who is going to dominate the stage for years to come. The 23-year-old sensation finally made his WWE debut after a 624-day-long hiatus. The man of the moment is Gable Stevenson who wrestles freestyle. He bagged a gold medal at the 2020 Summer Olympics after defeating three-time and reigning World Champion Geno Petriashvili in the summit clash.  He was also the 2021 Pan American Continental champion and was a three-time age-group World Champion.

Stevenson has shown what he is made of with his wrestling pyrotechnics. Due to his exploits, his name is known worldwide. He became a force to reckon with right from his early days. At present, he has decided to get into WWE full-time as a professional wrestler. He put the dotted line in 2021 with the company in the form of a Name, image likeness (NIL) deal with MMA manager Dave Martin. He was appointed by the RAW brand and had only three appearances to show for it.

After his return in 2019, Steveson had twelve wins to show in freestyle wrestling

He had a sexual allegation of assault and suspension in June 2019. He was put behind bars along with a teammate for suspicion of sexual criminal conduct. But after some time, both of them were released after a short span due to inadequate evidence in relation to the case. But when it came to Minnesota University, they refused to lift the charges on him. They did not do so until December 2019.

After he returned, he belted 12 wins in freestyle wrestling and did not register a single loss in the regular season which was a big feat in itself. When it came to the 285-pound group in America he topped the charts over there. He continued to star in the freestyling championships before taking a 10-month break as he went on to participate in other tournaments. Steveson also made a brief appearance at WWE Summer Slam 2021. In an interview, former WWE star Mr Kennedy confirmed that he is training Stevenson.
