The WWE just signed 21-year-old Olympic gold medal winner Gable Steveson to its roster.
"WWE today announced it has signed Olympic gold medalist and reigning NCAA wrestling champion Gable Steveson to an exclusive agreement," the company said.
"In the company's first-ever NIL deal, Steveson will join the WWE roster while defending his NCAA title for the University of Minnesota." Of course, Steveson had a TON of options in addition to World Wrestling Entertainment ... multiple NFL teams reached out to Gable, and UFC honchoCOMING SOONGable will still wrestle in college ... but it's unclear if the other options are now off the table, or if Steveson could also fight MMA if he so desires.
Either way, Steveson was PUMPED to officially put his pen to WWE paper ... saying Thursday,"Childhood dream accomplished.. I have officially signed with the @WWE!!! Thank you for the opportunity!! LETS WORK"As for how WWE stars will welcome him ... it seems it'll be with open arms -- 'cause just a few weeks ago,Unclear when Steveson will make his in-ring debut ... but put your popcorn on standby ASAP.
