Professional wrestling career
WWE (2021–present)
In late 2020, Steveson said pursuing a career in the WWE as a professional wrestler in order to become a superstar is "a dream I've had since I was a kid". Prior to the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, Steveson signed a NIL marketing deal with MMA manager Dave Martin. After winning the Olympic gold medal, Steveson gained massive notoriety on social media, and teased the public on whether he would continue wrestling or pursue a career in mixed martial arts or professional wrestling next. On September 4, 2021, it was announced that Steveson had reportedly signed a contract with WWE. Five days later, WWE confirmed they had signed Steveson to a NIL deal. On October 4, 2021, Stevenson was drafted to Monday Night Raw.
