Meanwhile, former WWE Superstar Gable Steveson is set to make his UFC debut at the same event when he faces Elisha Ellison. While the match is on the preliminary card, it’s a massive moment for Steveson as he successfully transitioned from wrestling to mixed martial arts.

Last year, Steveson announced his entry into the world of mixed martial arts and remains undefeated inside the octagon with a 3-0 record. Earlier this year, he scored wins against Kevin Hein and Braden Peterson before making his official debut for the UFC in Las Vegas.

Elisha Ellison can put forth a worthy challenge to Gable Steveson in his upcoming debut, as Ellison holds 5 wins in his MMA career, and he could be looking to make his UFC record 1-1 against Steveson. With momentum on his side, all eyes are on the 26-year-old star at UFC 329.

Gable Steveson addresses his WWE release

In 2021, Gable Steveson signed a contract with WWE under Vince McMahon’s creative regime. Steveson made a few appearances on the main roster, but never had an official match inside the ring. Later, he was sent to the developmental brand when Triple H took over the creative duties in the company.

Gable Steveson had a total of 17 matches in the company, with only one being televised as it took place at a premium live event against Baron Corbin. In May 2024, Steveson and a few wrestlers were released from their contracts, which ended his journey with WWE.

In an appearance on The Joe Rogan Podcast, the 26-year-old star addressed his release from the company. Steveson was grateful for his time in the company and had an incredible experience of working with Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, and Triple H. Moreover, he revealed that he wasn’t able to balance being a Superstar and college wrestling, which is why he wanted to leave.
