Following his real-life brother, Olympic Gold Medalist Gable Steveson’s, in-ring debut at NXT Great American Bash 2023, WWE NXT star Damon Kemp shared his reaction. He also took a little shot at his brother in the process.

Damon Kemp, who might want a match with his brother as well, tweeted out that the double count-out finish wouldn’t have been a reality if he had a proper trainer.
