On March 19, Gable Steveson won his second straight NCAA Heavyweight National Championship, defeating Cohlton Schultz in the finals.
After the bout, Steveson left his wrestling shoes on the mat, signifying the end of his amateur career.
Not so fast my friends.
“I know he would like to wrestle, and he loves competing,” Gophers wrestling coach Brandon Eggum told the Pioneer Press. “Really, it comes down to making that work. It would have to be something he works out with the WWE and Vince McMahon. Those details … it hasn’t gotten that far. It’s one thing if he said, ‘No way, I’m not doing it.’ … But he has the eligibility, he’s capable and he has interest in doing it.”
Steveson signed with WWE in September 2021 through the NIL program and was drafted to WWE Raw in the 2021 WWE Draft. He made an appearance at WrestleMania 38, getting involved in a physical confrontation with Chad Gable.
It is unknown if Steveson will return to school to wrestle or when he'll return to WWE TV.
