Fightful spoke with national champion Gable Steveson minutes after his tweet about a WWE future, and he let us know that he's spoken with several people involved in WWE. From Paul Heyman, to Triple H, to Gerald Brisco in the past, and said that right now things are a waiting game and he's largely focused on the Olympics, but he wants to wrestle in WWE. He told me that although he's not had time to keep up with much wrestling, he knows AEW is emerging, but as of right now wants to pursue a career in WWE.

WWE isn't the only possible career path, though. He said that he is actually considering giving football a shot, and pointed to Brock Lesnar taking that path, as well. When asked about the potential in competing in MMA, Steveson clarified to Fightful that he's open to competing in the Octagon as well.

The full interview will be up tomorrow.
