Gable Dan Steveson (born May 31, 2000) is an American Olympic gold medalist freestyle wrestler, two-time gold medalist folkstyle wrestler, professional wrestler, and professional football player. He went to college at Minnesota.
In freestyle, Steveson claimed the 2020 Summer Olympic gold medal, and was also a three-time age-group world champion.[4][5] In folkstyle, Steveson was a two-time Dan Hodge Trophy winner, a two-time NCAA Division I national champion, and a three-time All-American out of the University of Minnesota.[6]
After a brief appearance at WWE's SummerSlam in August 2021, Steveson was signed by the promotion the following month, becoming only the second Olympic gold medalist to be signed by the company after Kurt Angle; however, he was released in May 2024 after only one poorly-received televised match.
He signed with the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League in May 2024, but was released in August before the start of the regular season.
