Gable Stevenson Reacts To Shocking WWE Draft Pick

During the final round of last night’s WWE Draft on Raw, it was revealed that Olympic Gold Medalist Gable Stevenson, who only just started training as a pro-wrestler, had been drafted to Monday Night Raw.

While this is likely a PR stunt and he won’t actually wrestle for some time, Stevenson is clearly seen as a big star of the future by WWE.

Stevenson took to Twitter to share his brief reaction to being drafted.

Some fans have pointed out how new Stevenson is to the world of pro-wrestling, and have suggested he should perhaps have started in NXT, while others have likened him to Kurt Angle, who famously took to pro-wrestling like a duck to water.

There’s no reason why Gable Stevenson won’t do the same, but either way it’s a bold move by WWE, and we’ll just have to wait and see how he’s booked now he’s on the main roster.

He signed a multi-year deal with WWE last month, a deal which allows him to defend his NCAA wrestling title for the University of Minnestota. WWE has also set up a special training center for him close to where he is studying.
