Gable Steveson has been removed from the NXT roster.
Earlier this year, Gable made his in ring debut for WWE, facing off with Baron Corbin in singles competition. It is worth noting that Corbin has been rarely, if ever cheered by wrestling crowds as he has been a career heel so far, but was the clear babyface for the crowd despite him being a heel.
Steveson’s performance in the match was nothing too bad but wasn’t awe inspiring either. Throughout the course of the matchup, Gable would use some moves made popular by WWE Hall Of Famer Kurt Angle. The crowd, which was already firmly against Gable, began chanting that he wasn’t Kurt Angle.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter now reports that Steveson has been removed from the NXT roster by WWE.

The finish of the match featured the two men brawling on the outside, with the match being called as a draw for a double count out. Chants of “Bullshit” would rain down from the crowd, and the pair would have a brief pull apart brawl to end their segment of the Premium Live Event.
We will have to wait and see what happens next for Steveson in NXT and WWE as a whole but for now it appears he is in limbo.
