“Please Don’t Force This Guy on Us”: Bemused With Gable Steveson’s SmackDown Appearance, Fans Urges WWE Not to Match Him With ‘6′ 8″, 344 Pound’ Superstar

The latest SmackDown episode had it all- a classic parking lot injury, The Usos adding another win to their tally and a Hall of Famer turning back the clock. While the fans may have enjoyed the other segments, many were upset with one aspect.

Gable Steveson, who is yet to make his WWE debut, made an appearance on the show. He was seen alongside birthday boy Kurt Angle in two segments. Gable also played an important part in one of those segments, but it was the other that had fans talking.

WWE Superstar Braun Strowman met the duo backstage and exchanged greetings. It was after this that the WWE hinted at a Steveson vs. Strowman match, triggering bearish reactions from netizens.

Is Gable Steveson uncharismatic?

Several fans have pointed at the lack of charisma from the Olympic gold medallist. They even urged the WWE bosses to stop hyping the Steveson vs. Strowman angle.

“Gable has absolutely no charisma at all. Please don’t force this guy on us. @TripleH,” an user tweeted.

Others compared him with objects like a biscuit, a potted plant, and a traffic cone.

The reactions aside, Steveson is one of the most decorated collegiate wrestlers. So, if the WWE goes on to schedule him against the 6′ 8″, 344-pounder Strowman, it would be interesting to see how the former manages.

Kurt Angle turns back the clock

Gable Steveson wasn’t the only Olympic gold medallist inside the building last night. There was one more- former Raw General Manager and Hall of Famer Kurt Angle.

Angle celebrated his birthday the old-school ways bringing back the Attitude Era’s Milk-O-Mania days.

The segment started with Angle stepping inside the ring as fans cheered on. However, it was cut short by Alpha Academy, who interrupted the legendary wrestler. They chastised him for not inviting the duo- Chad Gable and Otis- to his birthday celebration.

Gable also said that Otis was going to eat all the cake and asked Angle to leave. While ‘The American Hero’ left the ring, he stopped midway and was joined by Steveson.

The fellow Olympic gold medallist had brought out a milk truck, and Angle hopped inside. What followed left Chad Gable and Otis doused in milk, as Kurt Angle recreated his past antics.

Meanwhile, SmackDown has announced the return of Hollywood movie star and 16x Champion John Cena. The Cenation Leader will be taking part in 2022’s last episode of SmackDown.
