Gable Steveson was once seen as the next big thing in WWE, drawing comparisons to Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle. However, this backfired during his NXT debut when the crowd chanted youre not Angle as he wrestled Baron Corbin. Now, Steveson has signed an NFL contract with the Buffalo Bills.
During conference for NXT Heatwave, Shawn Michaels was asked about Stevesons departure from WWE. Michaels did not comment on Stevesons new NFL role but shared what happened behind the scenes. According to Michaels, there was simply nothing for Steveson in WWE.
Michaels explained that Gulaks contract was expiring and there wasnt a spot for Steveson on the main roster. The decision to part ways was made from a business standpoint.
We will see how Gable Steveson fares in the NFL, but his move has certainly garnered attention for the Bills. Shawn Michaels likely wishes him the best of luck.
