Professional wrestling has always been a melting pot of talent, with athletes from various sports finding success in the squared circle. From football players to MMA fighters, the world of professional wrestling has seen it all. However, one sport that has consistently produced top-tier talent for the wrestling industry is amateur wrestling. And now, it seems that the trend is reversing, as a WWE Superstar and Olympic gold medalist is set to participate in the upcoming 2023 World Championships of amateur wrestling.
United World Wrestling has announced that Gable Steveson, who signed with WWE in 2021, will be competing in the 2023 World Championships in Belgrade, Serbia. Steveson, who won a gold medal in wrestling at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, will be showcasing his skills in the amateur wrestling world once again. The competition is scheduled to take place from September 16 to 24.
Steveson’s decision to participate in the World Championships comes as no surprise, considering his background and success in amateur wrestling. Since making his in-ring debut at the Great American Bash last month, Steveson’s time in WWE has been a mix of hits and misses. While he has shown glimpses of his potential, his appearances have been limited, leaving fans and pundits wondering about his future in the wrestling industry.
Wrestling Rumors recently shared a video highlighting some of Steveson’s efforts in WWE, shedding light on his journey thus far. The video showcases Steveson’s athleticism and wrestling prowess, leaving fans excited about his potential as a WWE Superstar.
However, with Steveson’s decision to compete in the 2023 World Championships, it seems that his focus will temporarily shift back to amateur wrestling. This raises questions about his long-term plans in WWE and whether he will continue to pursue a career in professional wrestling once his amateur wrestling commitments are fulfilled.
As of now, there is no word on what Steveson’s plans are after the World Championships. Rumors suggest that he may consider another Olympic run, given his success in Tokyo. It remains to be seen how Steveson’s participation in the World Championships will impact his future in WWE and whether he will be able to strike a balance between his amateur wrestling career and his aspirations in the world of professional wrestling.
