Gable Steveson training with former WWE star after brief hiatus due to medical condition

WWE's hottest acquisition after the Tokyo Olympics, Gable Steveson, is back to training full-time at the Performance Center following a brief hiatus.

Steveson signed a multi-year contract with the company back in September 2021. He was also drafted to the RAW brand during the 2021 Draft. While he hasn't debuted inside the squared circle, the Olympian has made special appearances at notable events like SummerSlam and WrestleMania 38.

In an exclusive with ESPN, Steveson mentioned that he underwent an ablation last month to treat a condition known as Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. He revealed that the issue was discovered last year before the Olympics. However, he did not undergo the procedure without proper consultation from the company's medical staff.

With the 22-year-old back at the Performance Center in Orlando, former United States Champion Fit Finlay has been entrusted with the responsibility of training the Olympic hero.
