Gable Steveson
Gable Steveson embodies strength and dedication both on and off the wrestling mat. He is often recognized for his impressive accomplishments, yet his talents are matched by his commitment to bettering lives.
Gable began his competitive wrestling career at Apple Valley High School where he achieved multiple state titles. As the top recruit, he remained local and continued his career as a Gopher at the University of Minnesota where he earned two NCAA championships, three Big Ten championships, and has the highest win percentage in the history of the wrestling program. In 2022, Gable took home his second Dan Hodge Trophy, a national award that honors the top collegiate wrestler each year.
In the summer of 2021, Gable won gold at the Tokyo Olympics in the men’s freestyle 125-kilogram class. Upon winning the Championship match in a dramatic fashion with a last-second takedown, he celebrated his victory with his signature move – a backflip.
Pursuing a wrestling career with WWE was a longtime dream of Gable’s, and in the summer of 2021, it became a reality. Gable became the second Olympic gold medalist to be signed with the WWE.
Gable & Blaze
Gable shares a common goal of creating meaningful change within our communities. In the summer of 2023, Gable and Blaze partnered to collect new shoes and clothing for patients at Regions Hospital. With donations being accepted at all of SPIRE’s locations, this campaign resulted in hundreds of basic clothing being provided to patients in crisis.
Gable has also starred in several Blaze member testimonial commercials and made appearances supporting Blaze non-profit partners.
