"I had everything with Gable Steveson winning the Olympic gold medal.

Brock Lesnar and Gable Steveson are good friends in real life
Brock Lesnar is one of the most successful superstars in the history of professional wrestling. Lesnar doesn't generally interact with people and stays away from the limelight. The fact that he took time out of his schedule to train with Steveson speaks volumes about what he thinks of the young gun.
As for Heyman, arranging a training session with Lesnar and Steveson indicates that he believes in the Olympic star as well. Steveson recently bagged a deal with WWE and has a long road ahead of him in the promotion.
It was recently reported by Dave Meltzer of WOR that WWE has already started discussions for a possible Lesnar vs Steveson match at a future WrestleMania. The match in question could be billed as a "passing of the torch" affair.
Lesnar and Heyman are currently involved in a storyline on WWE SmackDown. Lesnar finally came face to face with Heyman and Roman Reigns on the latest edition of SmackDown. The Beast Incarnate was about to hit an F5 on Heyman, but Reigns and The Usos came to his rescue.
What do you think of Gable Steveson? Do you see him getting managed by Paul Heyman on WWE TV in the distant future?
