WWE signs Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson

WWE signs Olympic gold medalist and reigning NCAA wrestling champion Gable Steveson to an exclusive agreement.

In the company’s first-ever NIL deal, Steveson will join the WWE roster while defending his NCAA title for the University of Minnesota.

The wrestler shot to fame this summer with his incredible last-second win at the Tokyo Olympics over Geno Petriashvili in the heavyweight freestyle wrestling gold medal match. Since then, he’s been a main topic of discussion in the combat sports community.

“I’ve been on WWE since I was really young,” Steveson told ESPN. “I was on guys like Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman for a very long time. So growing up watching them, me being an entertainer on the wrestling mat, it just felt like it was the right choice.”

Steveson had interest from both WWE and the UFC, but opted to go the professional wrestling route. Once he graduates in May, his multi-year deal with the WWE will begin.
