Minnesota Golden Gophers Coach Says Gable Steveson Won’t Wrestle In 2024, Will Focus On WWE Career
Gable Steveson is focusing on his WWE career.
Minnesota Golden Gophers coach Brandon Eggum told the Star Tribune that Gable Steveson won’t wrestle for the team in 2024, which would have been his final season of eligibility.
“Unfortunately, he will not be able to compete for us this season,” Eggum said. “He’s a great competitor, he’s always wanted to compete for the University of Minnesota. But ultimately, the WWE would prefer that he solely focus on his professional wrestling career at this time. We just can’t thank him enough for the impact he’s had on our program. We love following him and watching him compete on the mat. He’s amazing, and now we’re excited to watch him in his WWE career.”
Eggum noted that when he is not at the WWE Performance Center, Steveson does return to Minnesota to practice with the heavyweights.
Steveson has not wrestled on television since NXT Great American Bash. He has been active at NXT live events and wrestle a dark match ahead of WWE SmackDown on January 5.
