Gable Steveson Has Been Internally Praised By WWE Officials – It was previously reported that Gable Steveson was supposed to be on the WWE main roster by now, but plans for him were delayed as he underwent a heart procedure. 

He has returned to amateur competition and will compete in the upcoming US Open this September. Until then, he has been used in recent weeks on NXT TV for a storyline with Eddy Thorpe and Damon Kemp, who is the real-life brother of Steveson. He will be in the corner of Thorpe on next week’s episode for the Underground match.

Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that Steveson has been praised by those in the company for the progress he has made in training after being criticized for lack of progression and those in WWE believe he’ll be better than what people originally thought.

“He’s in now, which is really weird because he’s going to be around and he still has those world championships in September and all those guys in the world championships are like training. Even though he beat all those guys in America, some of those guys in the world championships have beaten the guys in America. He’s complete freak….I have heard from people who say that Gable is picking things up and he’s gonna be better than a lot of people originally thought.”
