Gable Steveson, who won his second NCAA Division I national title on Saturday, said that he will be present in Texas at WrestleMania 38.
Steveson was signed by WWE in September 2021 but is yet to make his in-ring debut in the promotion. He was signed under the company's RAW brand. In 2020, the athlete had voiced his desire to join the company, saying it was "a dream I've had since I was a kid." Steveson put an end to his amateur wrestling career with the NCAA Division title win and is now about to start his pro-wrestling journey.
In a recent interview, the retired freestyle wrestler revealed that he plans on giving the WWE Universe a glimpse of what he is about at the Grandest Stage of Them All.

The 21-year-old athlete also named three crucial people from WWE who have supported him.
“Paul Heyman is always like the first one to text, and that means a lot. He always reaches out and makes sure I’m good. Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque checks up on me, and so does Brock Lesnar. They’ve shown me a lot of love and respect.” continued Steveson.
