Gable Steveson was back in a WWE ring just a few weeks after making his debut.
The Olympic Gold Medalist defeated Baron Corbin at the WWE NXT Great American Bash premium live event from H-E-B Center at Cedar Park in Austin, Texas..
Stevenson appeared in a dark segment with Dolph Ziggler on Monday’s RAW.
Dave Meltzer recapped the segment on Wrestling Observer Radio, noting that it’s still uncertain whether Steveson will begin full-time with WWE or compete in the 2024 Olympic Games.
“So he was on the show tonight. He did not, it was not on television, but he did a big angle with Dolph Ziggler. And because it was Minneapolis and because he’s from Minneapolis, he was cheered like crazy. I heard one of the biggest pops of the entire show, suplexed him around the ring when Ziggler was running down, saying that there are no heroes in Minneapolis. No wrestling heroes in Minneapolis. And, and, he came out, and they went into it. And so, I still don’t know if he’s doing the world championships or not. And nobody’s really talked about what they will do with him next for television, but he was on the show tonight. So he’s, that doesn’t mean he’s not training right now. It just means that you know, for The Worlds. If he’s training in Minneapolis, then he’s there.”
