After speculation and plenty of positive statements about each other over the last year, U.S. Olympic gold medal wrestler, NCAA champion and Dan Gable award winner Gable Steveson has signed with WWE, according to Dave Meltzer.

No start date or other details were given other than he is done at the University of Minnesota where he won two Big Ten Conference titles and was a two-time All-American.

Earlier Saturday, Steveson tweeted "Just put pen to paper."

Steveson was in attendance at last month's SummerSlam where he was reportedly met with Vince McMahon. He did not meet with UFC's Dana White, later saying they each had other's phone number and social media information.

The 21-year-old won gold at the recent Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, winning his first-ever gold medal and raising his profile in the process. He had talked about also going into MMA in addition to pro wrestling, but it's unknown if he will still pursue that.

Just keep it simple and put him and his brother with Bronson Steiner and have them kill people.

These are signings I quite like.

Shocking

This is huge, scooped right from under the UFC.

I now don't care about NXT being rebranded and having massive releases, THIS is the reason.

Damn you Vince you crazy sonofabitch, you've done it again.

Yeah it was locked in way before he said he signed when he showed up at Summerslam I feel and WWE loves to put out things on their time. WWE doesn't bring in talent just for appearances if they didn't even sign him way before or at least had a verbal agreement probably at that point. Bs aside good for him and as much I want to see more guys who don't look like Monsters come to WWE I hope he comes into Wrestling and is able to transition to the Pros while not forgetting his roots.

Only 21 years old aswell? Damn.

Poor Kurt gonna be well and truly forgotten about now, maybe he's gonna have to get back in touch with Tony.

 

[Necro]

Makes sense he has a lot more earning potential in WWE than UFC I would think.

Looking at Gable Steveson's biggest fucking fan on this site baby. Been tracking him since he was a freshman in Minnesota, and was so happy to see him win gold at the Olympics this year. WWE better not fuck him up.

If he's got the right tools, even if WWE fucks up they'll be plenty of other promotions line up happy to book him. I think in this stage of the game its all on him to make an impact

He's got the strength, the athleticism, and the mind for it, being a fan of WWE all his life. All he needs is to showcase any Charisma he has.

Don't be an idiot.

Let's see if he can do the transition and if WWE don't fuck it up right from the get go.

So he will end up being like a Kurt Angle, Shelton Benjamin, and Brock Lesnar clone then?
