Reason for Gable Steveson’s WWE Release Revealed

Amidst recent upheavals in WWE’s roster, the departure of former Olympian Gable Steveson has drawn attention as yet another significant release. Steveson, who had entered the WWE scene with much anticipation, had been undergoing a period of refinement through participation in dark matches.

According to recent reports, Gable Steveson’s release from WWE was not entirely unexpected, given his apparent struggle to resonate with audiences despite expressing contentment with his position just a month ago.

In a follow-up to his WWE release, Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that Gable Steveson’s release came due to the fact of him not being able to live up to the big-money contract he was signed for.

“His contract was a very big money contract and he wasn’t cutting it.”

Despite initial enthusiasm surrounding his entry into WWE and notable appearances, including a spectacular introduction at WrestleMania 38 by Stephanie McMahon, Steveson faced challenges in connecting with the audience. While his athletic abilities were evident, his charisma seemed to fall short, resulting in mixed reactions from fans.

Nevertheless, even after his WWE exit, Gable Steveson’s remarkable achievements and athletic talent ensure that opportunities remain ripe for him to forge a successful path ahead.
