Gable Steveson, the Olympic gold medalist, beat Cedric Alexander in an untelevised match prior to the January 5th, 2024 episode of WWE Smackdown.
According to PWInsider.com, Steveson is set to work more dark matches at future Smackdown events, although he is currently not part of the creative plans for the 2024 men’s Royal Rumble match.
In a video shared on the University of Minnesota Gophers’ Twitter/X account, Coach Brandon Eggum provided an update on Steveson, stating that he will not be competing for the university this year as his primary focus is on his pro wrestling career.
