Gable Steveson On Potentially Joining WWE After Olympics, Wanting To Get To Roman Reigns’ Level

In a recent interview with KARE 11 in Minneapolis, Gable Steveson discussed wanting to be at Roman Reigns’ level in WWE, potentially joining the company after the Summer Olympics, and much more. Here’s what he had to say (via Fightful):

Gable Steveson on meeting Roman Reigns and hoping that he’s in the spot for Reigns to pass the torch to him: “[Meeting Roman Reigns was a] surreal feeling, to be honest. He’s one of the guys who I’d always wanted to meet besides The Rock. I met [Brock] Lesnar, Lesnar was one of the guys I always wanted to meet too. Roman Reigns, seeing a guy like that in person and seeing everything he’s done with WWE and in his life, too, it’s crazy. He lives differently, he breathes differently than a lot of people. He wants to be a winner, he wants to be a champion. Roman Reigns is the top of the top, and I know sooner or later, hopefully, my time [will come to] be in that spot, and he’ll hand the belt down respectfully. I’m ready.”

On whether he’ll join WWE if he wins gold at the Summer Olympics in Tokyo: “That’s a hard question. It’s all in the air right now. There’s a lot of things going on. I want this Tokyo gold first, and we’ll go from there. WWE is in the near future. When? I’m not sure, but I’ll be there.”
