Details on when Gable Steveson will debut on the main roster - Reports
Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson's WWE main roster debut might not be too far away.
The 21-year-old recently signed a contract with WWE. Many fans are dubbing him the next Kurt Angle due of his Olympic background that's similar to the former WWE Champion.
On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that Gable Steveson could make his WWE main roster debut very soon:
“They are big behind him for a lot of reasons, but it doesn’t mean he’s going to be a success, either. I mean, it’s like he’s going to have the microscope on him and he’s gonna be up there [on the WWE main roster] too soon, for sure. He’s gonna be in matches too soon as far as to be a good worker, because they’re gonna try to capitalize on it although I think he goes full-time in May 2022 and, you know at that point they’re gonna be grooming him to the top spots, and they signed him to a deal that pretty much wants him there,” said Meltzer.
