10 Wrestlers Next In Line To Win WWE Championship
3. Gable Steveson
In the past, when WWE would attempt to bring in athletes from other sports like Mark Henry and Kurt Angle, they had to first be sold on the idea of trading in their legitimate backgrounds for that of professional wrestling. That certainly was not the case with lifelong fans Ronda Rousey, Shayna Baszler and one of WWE's biggest signings in Gable Steveson.
Fresh off of winning two NCAA Heavyweight Wrestling Championships as well as an Olympic Gold Medal in last years games, Gable Steveson looks ready for the bright lights of WWE. After appearances on Monday Night Raw and WrestleMania 38, the WWE Universe is waiting patiently for the University of Minnesota alum to fully arrive in WWE.
Vince McMahon has never shied away from capitalizing on the main stream popularity of his roster, using this as justification for strapping a rocket to the back of who he sees fit. With the legitimate background, crossover appeal, and larger than life presence possessed by Gable Steveson, it should not be long before the Olympic Gold Medalist is perched at the top of the largest wrestling company in the world, with the WWE Championship in tow.
