9 Dream Matches For Olympic Hero Gable Steveson In WWE

Gable Steveson came to the spotlight after an emphatic performance at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Representing the United States, he defeated Georgia's Geno Petriashvili to win the gold medal in epic fashion.

Known as a professional wrestling fan, the Olympic gold medalist didn't take long to choose his next career path. Gable Steveson recently signed with WWE. Being just 21 years old, he has many years ahead of him to make it big in WWE, and he is certainly going to be a bright prospect. Given his career path, Gable is already getting compared to fellow Olympic gold medalist, Kurt Angle. Gable Steveson could have many dream matches in WWE.

9 Chad Gable

Chad Gable might sound like an unlikely dream opponent, considering he is a mid-card Superstar, but he has a similar background to Gable Steveson. Gable was also an amateur wrestler, and he represented the United States in the 2012 Olympics.

WWE could build an exciting storyline using their past in the Olympics. Also, their matches would be incredible using several amateur wrestling-inspired moves. It could even bump up Chad Gable's profile when Gable Steveson makes his main roster debut.

8 Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley has become a force to be reckoned with during his recent run as the WWE Champion. The All Mighty has truly become indomitable, and he has dominated every single opponent. With impressive strength and muscular physique, he is certainly a nightmare for anyone.

Lashley is a legit fighter, having a background in MMA as well as amateur wrestling. With his vast experience, he can have a stupendous feud with a high-profile rookie like Gable Steveson.

7 Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre's change of momentum in his second WWE run has been remarkable, and he has become a top guy in the company. The Scottish Warrior has already won the WWE Championship twice in his career. He has also main evented a WrestleMania.

A feud between McIntyre and Steveson can be nothing short of spectacular, especially in big events like WrestleMania and SummerSlam. If Stevenson dominates McIntyre, he can build significant momentum as the latter is a big star now.

6 Riddle

Riddle might have a goofy character, but he is more than a sports entertainer. Being a former UFC fighter, The Original Bro is a legit athlete, who has a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Therefore, seeing a match between such two top-level athletes would be a dream match for the majority of the fans. If Riddle brings in more Jiu-Jitsu-inspired moves in his arsenal, he can produce an awe-inspiring performance against the Olympic champion.

5 Big E

Big E is recently enjoying a great singles run after getting separated from New Day. Given his talent, he certainly has the potential to be a future World Champion.

Big E can be a dream opponent for Gable Steveson because he is also a pure athlete. Before becoming a WWE Superstar, he was a powerlifter and won powerlifting competitions. If booked right, a match between Gable Steveson and Big E would be a tussle of strength and skills inside the squared circle.

4 Randy Orton

Once dubbed as the 'Legend Killer', Randy Orton himself has become a legend now after an incredible full-time WWE career of nearly two decades. He is still a top star of the company, and he has won the WWE Championship fourteen times in his career.

Being a veteran, Orton helps young talent to get over nowadays. With that in mind, he could do the same to Gable Steveson. Given the statures of both men, it wouldn't be anything short of a dream match.

3 John Cena

John Cena isn't a full-time performer anymore, but he makes sporadic appearances, with the recent being at 2021 SummerSlam. Needless to say, the leader of Cenation is going to wrestle as a part-timer, so a dream match with the Olympic gold medalist, Gable Steveson, is possible.

Cena made his debut as a rookie against another Olympic hero, Kurt Angle. Now, as a veteran, he can do a similar thing. If Gable Steveson gets his debut feud with Cena, it would be beneficial for his WWE career.

2 Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns is the hottest in WWE right now after turning heel. The Tribal Chief of WWE has decimated some greatest names of the company throughout his career. Keeping that in mind, it would be a fantasy match to see the biggest star of WWE in the modern era colliding with the Olympic gold medalist.

WWE should save such high profile match for a show like WrestleMania. Perhaps in the next two or three years, the fans can see this match.

1 Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar is definitely a dream opponent for any Superstar whether in WWE or UFC. Having conquered both the squared circle and octagon, Lesnar is a multi-time World Champion in WWE and a former UFC Champion.

UFC's Daniel Cormier has said that Gable Steveson could follow a similar path like Brock Lesnar by making a name in WWE and then fighting in the UFC. If the Tokyo gold medalist does the same thing, he could be the next Brock Lesnar, and seeing them wrestle in the WWE ring would be a dream come true.
