Gable Steveson, probably the no. 1 collegiate wrestler in the world, waved an evening on Twitter at Vince McMahon after reaching the pinnacle of college wrestling.
On Saturday, the Minnesota Gophers junior won the heavyweight title at the NCAA Championship in 2021 with an 8-4 decision against no. 2 Mason Parris of Michigan. After his victory, Steveson celebrated with his trademark setback on the mat.
As noted, Gable’s brother Bobby Steveson is currently training at the WWE Performance Center. Paul Heyman has already conveyed the possibility that Gable will join WWE. Heyman said in a recent interview that collegiate athletes like the Steveson brothers, Parker Boudreaux and Bronson Rechsteiner could be future WrestleMania headlines.
As a collegiate wrestler, Steveson is now the reigning NCAA Division I National Champion, a two-time champion of the Big Ten Conference [three-time finalist] and a two-time All-American from the University of Minnesota. He was also an excellent high school wrestler as a four-time MSHSL champion [five-time finalist].
