Current WWE Status & Plans For Gable Steveson - WrestleTalk
New reports have revealed the latest updates on WWE's plans for Olympic Gold Medalist Gable Steveson, and his current status.
wrestletalk.comHere’s the latest publicly reported status on Gable Steveson and WWE as of April 2026.
- In May 2024, reports indicated Gable Steveson was released by WWE after a relatively short tenure with the company. Multiple outlets cited WWE opting not to renew or extend his contract at that time. This aligns with Steveson’s limited in-ring exposure during WWE programming [source reports from Fightful and Wrestling Observer News, 2024].[1][2]
- Since leaving WWE, Steveson has pursued mixed martial arts competition, accumulating fights and highlighting a shift away from a full-time wrestling path. Interviews and coverage around late 2024 into 2026 emphasize his move toward MMA and other combat sports rather than a WWE return.[2][4]
- Public discussions in 2025–early 2026 frequently reference his departure as part of a broader look at WWE’s talent development and the challenges some athletes faced in transitioning from Olympic wrestling to pro wrestling, though there is no confirmed WWE revival or re-signing as of now.[5][2]
