"My time is going to come" - Gable Steveson on his photo with Roman Reigns and his WWE status
United States Olympian Gable Steveson has been the talk of some of the WWE Universe recently. The NCAA Division I Champion has been making waves in recent months amid potentially signing with WWE.
Gable Steveson recently sat down with Morales Torres of Lucha Libre Online to talk about all things WWE.
When Torres brought up the popular photo of himself, Paul Heyman, and Roman Reigns, Steveson said that it would go down as one of the best wrestling images in history.
“The picture of me, Paul (Heyman), and Roman Reigns is gonna go down as maybe one of the best wrestling photos in history," Steveson said. "Just because the path that I'm taking with it and the path that Roman Reigns has set in stone being a champion, that’ll probably would never be defeated again. The path that Paul Heyman has done for wrestling. He’s probably the greatest spokesperson. (He’s going to the) Hall of Fame. Roman Reigns is going into the Hall of Fame. My time is going to come. And I think that picture right there with us three is going to live on for a long time just because the accolades that we bring to that picture and the stardom that picture brings to the internet.”
