Gable Steveson Reveals When He Thinks He'll Make His WWE In-Ring Debut

18 months after being signed by WWE and drafted to Raw, Gable Steveson believes his official in-ring debut is close to happening. 

The Olympic gold medallist has made several appearances since then, including at last year's WrestleMania 38 (where he suplexed Chad Gable) and at the Kurt Angle birthday celebration on the December 9 episode of SmackDown.

During a recent interview with MMAFighting, Steveson intimated that believes he will make his bow after WrestleMania 39, saying:  

"I'm pretty close to debuting and being on-screen. I'm just waiting for that call and waiting for that time. Some days it's stressful because I never know when it will come and I'm used to amateur wrestling where it's like, 'Hey, we have the Olympics in three months or we have the Olympic trials in two months, be ready for it'. Right now, you’re going through the motions with no goal, and I wish I could have that goal in sight and put forth and give people real answers when I'm debuting, but it will be coming really, really soon. And when I mean really, really soon, probably after [WrestleMania] or just a little bit after that. I think being able to understand that this game is different and it's a process and I'm going to follow the process the right way and just keep moving forward".

In the same interview, Gable expressed his desire to compete at the 2024 Olympics and attempt to win a second gold medal.
