An Olympic gold medalist appeared on WWE NXT this week.
No, not your Olympic hero.
The other one.
Gable Steveson appeared on this week’s Gold Rush: Week 1 edition of WWE NXT on the USA Network from the Capitol Wrestling Center inside the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
The first-ever WWE NIL signee appeared in a backstage segment and offered his services as the trainer for Eddy Thorpe for his Raw Underground fight against Damon Kemp on NXT on USA in two weeks.
