Olympic Gold Medalist Gable Steveson Selected by Raw During WWE Draft

WWE Raw has added an Olympic gold medalist to its roster.

During night two of the WWE Draft on Monday night, heavyweight NCAA wrestling champion and Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson was selected by Raw. The annual draft exists as a way for Raw and SmackDown to freshen up and add to its rosters.

The 21-year-old Steveson won gold in freestyle wrestling at the Tokyo Olympics this summer, getting a last-second win over Georgian Geno Petriashvili in the 125-kilogram weight class.

After being heavily recruited by the company, it was announced last month that Steveson had signed with WWE.
