In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani as part of The MMA Hour, new WWE signing and Olympic Gold Medalist Gable Steveson discussed several topics, including how much of a role WWE superstar Brock Lesnar played in his decision to join the WWE.

“Besides talking to guys like Lesnar and Triple H and such, I haven’t actually talked to another collegiate wrestler in the WWE. Brock was a good part of the decision, because the Brock Lesnar path, like we talked about, he started with the WWE and went to the NFL and made it to the final stages of being on the team, then went to the UFC, so I mean the Brock Lesnar route is helpful for me and I want to pave my own way and have my own destiny. He was a big help in this and it was cool tht he gave me some guidance.”
