WWE’s Gable Steveson Set For 2023 World Championships In Freestyle Wrestling

Gable Steveson went to a double count out with Baron Corbin at the WWE NXT Great American Bash 2023 pay-per-view event. This marked the in-ring debut of the Olympic gold medalist.

United World Wrestling announced the participants for the 2023 World Championships, with Steveson being among the names that will compete from September 16 to September 24.

The announcement noted, “At 125kg, Gable STEVESON (USA) is set to return after a substantial absence. The 21-year-old sensation made waves at the Tokyo Olympic Games, stunning the wrestling community with his triumph. He managed to defeat now-reigning world champion Taha AKGUL (TUR) and three-time world champion Geno PETRIASHVILI (GEO) en route to Olympic glory. Following his Olympic gold, Steveson took a brief retirement from wrestling to pursue a career in WWE. However, he has since added another Olympic gold to his aspirations.”
