Steveson will not be returning to the University of Minnesota for this season.
Olympic gold medalist Gable Stevenson is focusing his WWE career rather than returning to college wrestling.
Steveson said last summer that he intended to return to the University of Minnesota for his final year of eligibility in 2024. Steveson stated at the time that he needed to work out his schedule with WWE before making it official.
Brandon Eggum, the head wrestling coach at the University of Minnesota, shared an update with his students on Thursday. Steveson will not be competing this season for them. Eggum said that WWE prefers Steveson to focus solely on his pro-wrestling career at this time.
Eggum said, “Unfortunately [Steveson] won’t be able compete for us in this season.” “He is an excellent competitor. He has always wanted to compete at the University of Minnesota but the WWE would rather he focus on his professional wrestler career. “Whenever he is not at the WWE Performance Center in Florida, he is up here with our heavyweights working, which I think is awesome.”
Eggum said that the University of Minnesota cannot thank Steveson enough about the impact he has had on its wrestling program. Eggum said that they are looking forward to Steveson’s future career in WWE.
WWE announced Steveson’s signing in September 2021. Since then, he’s only played one televised game against Baron Corbin in NXT Great American Bash. The match lasted six minutes and ended with a double-countout. The crowd cheered Corbin and turned against Steveson during the match.
Since then, Steveson has wrestled in NXT house events. He worked a dark bout against Cedric Alexander before SmackDown last Friday.
