Gable Steveson made headlines in September 2021 after it was announced that he had signed with WWE. Steveson rose to prominence after winning a gold medal in freestyle wrestling at the 2020 Summer Olympics. He surprisingly defeated reigning World Champion Geno Petriashvili in the finale.

On the second night of the WWE draft, Gable Steveson was signed to the RAW roster. Fans are now patiently waiting to see how the Olympic sensation will make his WWE debut.

There are many directions the young man can take to embark on his journey as a sports entertainer. With that being said, take a look at the five directions for Gable Steveson on WWE RAW after a successful freestyle wrestling career.


#5. Gable Steveson joins The Hurt Business on WWE RAW

Gable Steveson signing with WWE sent waves across the entire wrestling industry. Many top names had a lot to say about the newcomer, and what direction he could take going forward.

Bobby Lashley had some really good things to say about Steveson. That’s not all, as Gable Steveson was made a very good offer by The All Mighty. The former WWE Champion, in an exclusive interview with Vicente Beltrán of ViBe & Wrestling, spoke about the prospects of the Olympian joining WWE.

The RAW Superstar assured that if Gable Stevenson joined the WWE, he could recruit him into the Hurt Business, refine him and maybe put a title on him.

“He has so much potential that he can do whatever he wants to do right now. So I got to take my hat off because I watched him at the Olympics and he looked incredible. I'm not trying to pull him this way because he is young. He is 21 years old, he can go fight if he wants to and get that out of the system. That might be his call. If he does come to WWE, the smartest way for him to do is give me a call and maybe we can get him into The Hurt Business and help his career. If he comes to WWE and is not part of The Hurt Business then he is gonna fall like anybody else and be a second range guy. That's his options, either come to WWE and join The Hurt Business and we can ensure him that he is gonna be in the right place, in the right hands or he can go to UFC and to try his hand out there,” Lashley said.

Joining The Hurt Business could turn out to be a great idea for the Olympic sensation. Bobby Lashley is one of the most successful athletes in the wrestling industry, and he could help Gable Steveson get started on the ring foot. MVP’s return to RAW could further boost the newcomer.

#4. Gable Steveson could join The Alpha Academy on WWE RAW

Gable Steveson isn’t the only superstar on WWE RAW with an Olympic background. Chad Gable is another man who has competed at the Summer Olympics in 2012. WWE could look to have Steveson work with Gable for some time.

Gable Steveson could join The Alpha Academy and work with Chad for some time to learn the art of wrestling. He is known as one of the best in-ring workers in WWE, and his experience could help the newcomer.

The partnership will not only help Steveson on RAW, but it could also give Chad Gable and The Alpha Academy a big push.


#3. Gable Steveson could get in a rivalry with The Alpha Academy

Alternatively, WWE could look to have Gable Steveson play a babyface early on. The RAW creative team could introduce him in a rivalry against Chad Gable of The Alpha Academy.

Chad has a lot of amateur wrestling experience. He could help Steveson have some good initial matches filled with great technical maneuvers. A rivalry against someone who probably understands his style could help Gable Steveson early on RAW. It could lead to something bigger for Steveson in the months to come.

#2. Gable Steveson forms a tag team with Kevin Owens

Gable Steveson will be looking to kick off his WWE career on the right foot. To ensure that he learns quickly, WWE could pair him with one of the most experienced men in the business.

On RAW Talk this week, Kevin Owens revealed that he wanted to win the tag team titles of the Red brand. This could give the creative team a great idea to pair the two superstars. Owens has been credited with helping several former and current WWE Superstars get more successful.

Gable Steveson could also benefit from The Prizefighter’s experience, and work with him early in his career. The two men could win the RAW Tag Team Championships before breaking up and having a rivalry.


#1. Gable Steveson joins Brock Lesnar on WWE RAW

Brock Lesnar is arguably the meanest athlete in sports entertainment. Gable Steveson has already spoken about how Lesnar helped him decide to join WWE.

Keeping that in mind, Steveson could make his debut for WWE alongside Brock Lesnar. The Beast Incarnate is a free agent and can appear on RAW and SmackDown whenever he wants.

WWE could pair Steveson with Lesnar once the latter's rivalry with Roman Reigns comes to an end. The two could work together for some time before getting into a rivalry against each other and having a blockbuster match at WrestleMania.
