Brock Lesnar and two-time Hall of Famer Ric Flair are no longer under WWE contract. But, it turns out their popularity could bring in the Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson who expressed his desire to sign with Vince McMahon’s company.
Brock Lesnar has influenced Gable Steveson
It seems he wants to be a “Paul Heyman Guy.” The University of Minnesota alumni has a history of training with another of Heyman Guy,Lesnar, who has been a WWE Champion. Steveson recently spoke to Sports Illustrated about the influence both Heyman and Lesnar have had on his WWE ambitions.
“If I ever go to WWE, I’d be a ‘Paul Heyman Guy,’ ” said Steveson. “Heyman is a legend. We’d be two people doing great things, and that would be a tough team to beat. And I’ve known Brock since I was in high school. He’s been there for me for a long time, making sure I do things the right way and put my best foot forward.”
He added:
“WWE has been so great to me,” Steveson continued. “Triple H, Brock, Heyman, Ric Flair and so many others have been so supportive. So have people from UFC, like Daniel Cormier, Jon Jones and Henry Cejudo, who have also sent me congratulations.”
We will see if he eventually decides to join WWE.
