Fans react to Mr. Kennedy training Steveson
WWE Analyst and host of the Out of Character podcast Ryan Satin took to Twitter to mention the fact that Gable Steveson is being trained by the former WWE superstar.
Fans were happy to see the former WWE superstar train the future star.
Fans also revealed that they would be interested to see Kennedy return to WWE or maybe sign with AEW.
One fan was wondering if Kennedy is now a trainer for WWE.
Social media is never short of haters and doubters. One such doubter shared his concerns about Steveson potentially injuring his fellow wrestlers, referring to Kennedy dropping Randy Orton on his neck prior to his release.
Steveson was initially set to make his debut at WrestleMania 38 to face Omos, but that plan was changed as he needed more training. With Triple H now having taken full control over creative, the future does look bright for the Olympic Gold Medalist.
