Steveson, the 2020 Olympic gold medalist in 125 kg freestyle wrestling, was officially signed by WWE on September 8. The deal is a unique one was Steveson will be allowed to continue his collegiate career at Minnesota before transitioning full-time to WWE. His deal with WWE will officially begin in May when the college season ends. While Steveson trains and competes at Minnesota, WWE will set up a facility for him to work on his wrestling career as well.
Steveson's deal, which is for three years, is the first-ever NIL deal with the company, which will allow him to earn money through WWE endorsements while still competing in college.
