Daniel Cormier feels Gable Steveson will be a hit in the WWE
Gable Steveson is all the rage in the wrestling scene. The Minnesota-based wrestler clinched the Gold medal in the men’s freestyle wrestling (125kg).
Barring a close final, Steveson totally annihilated his opponents in the earlier rounds. With his massive frame and build, coupled with his success, Steveson has become the USA’s favourite in no time.
Talks of Steveson signing with well-known promotions like the UFC and WWE have been rife. The UFC even congratulated Steveson on his success, and had his name pinned on their website’s homepage.
Former UFC heavyweight champion, Daniel Cormier, who is now an analyst, weighed in on the future of Steveson in the recent episode of DC&RC.
Cormier said that he would take the Brock Lesnar route if he were Steveson. DC justified the same saying that such a route would get him massive PPVs in the UFC, just like it did for Lesnar back in the days.
Cormier was quoted as saying:
“If I’m Gable Steveson, I’m going to the WWE first. I’m taking the Brock Lesnar approach. I’m going there, I’m building my name because the WWE wants him just as much as the UFC. I am going to the WWE first. I’m getting built into a monster over there and then I’m coming to the UFC, where immediately I’m at the top of the cards. And immediately I’m getting PPV money. Immediately I’m the man and I bring that fanbase with me. It’s right out there for Gable.”
