• WWE Is Planning A ‘Passing Of The Torch’ Moment With Brock Lesnar At A Future WrestleMania

WWE recently announced the signing of Olympic Gold Medallist Gable Steveson.

According to the Wrestling Observer, WWE Officials are planning to bring Gable up to the main roster in May 2022 and have him face Brock Lesnar at a future WrestleMania event:

“They are big behind him for a lot of reasons, but it doesn’t mean he’s going to be a success, either. I mean, it’s like he’s going to have the microscope on him and he’s gonna be up [on the WWE main roster] too soon, for sure.

He’s gonna be in matches too soon as far as to be a good worker, because they’re gonna try to capitalize on it although I think he goes full-time in May 2022 and, you know at that point they’re gonna be grooming him to the top spots, and they signed him to a deal that pretty much wants him there.

It’s already been teased and talked about that (Brock) Lesnar would eventually wrestle him in a passing-of-the-torch type moment at a WrestleMania.”

Gable said the following about Lesnar during his appearance on The MMA Hour:

“I was scared as hell of him. Dude came up and he’s about 6-foot-3, 6-foot-4, he’s put together and he was actually ripped. I was like, he’s bigger than I thought, this was the first time I’d seen him in person.

But honestly, it’s cool to have that mentor, that role model in my life, and have him do everything that I want to do in such a dominating fashion, it’s cool because he can tell me how he did it and things I can do better.”
