Steveson appeared at NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver during WrestleMania weekend. He also appeared at Summerslam 2021 with fellow Olympic Gold Medalist Tamyra Mensah-Stock. Meltzer added that Steveson met with Vince McMahon during the Summerslam visit.

Apart from being the Olympic Gold Medalist, Gable Steveson is the reigning Pan American Continent Champion in freestyle wrestling as well as three-time champion in respective age groups.
