#1. Brock Lesnar spotted with WWE RAW star Gable Steveson backstage

It's safe to say that after the Day 1 event, several contenders on RAW are gunning for a shot at Brock Lesnar's WWE Championship. One of those talents could be Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson someday.

Steveson, part of the RAW roster, is yet to wrestle a WWE match on television as he is busy completing his senior year at the University of Minnesota. The freestyle wrestler was in attendance at Day 1, and he seemingly teased a future clash against Brock Lesnar via Twitter as well:

Later backstage, however, the two stars were captured having what looked like a friendly exchange. Check it out below:

For those unaware, The Beast Incarnate and Steveson have trained together in the past. The 21-year-old even said last year that Lesnar played a significant role in guiding him into the world of sports entertainment.

While the Olympic gold medalist has a long way to go in WWE, fans already have high hopes for him. Perhaps a match pitting Gable Steveson against Brock Lesnar — somewhere down the road — would be one for the ages if all goes well.
