Steveson was released by the company last year after never having a televised match on the main roster.<\/p>\n<p>Bishop Dyer, formerly known as Baron Corbin, was a guest on <em>Busted Open Radio<\/em> and shared some interesting insight regarding Gable Steveson. The Olympic gold medalist&#8217;s only televised match took place at NXT The Great American Bash 2023 against Baron Corbin, and it ended via double countout.<\/p>\n<p>Corbin revealed that Steveson was hesitant to take a loss in his debut match, and rubbed some people the wrong way backstage. He suggested that their match in 2023 negatively impacted his career in NXT.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I mean, I\u2019m just going to say without putting too much out there that he rubbed some people the wrong way. After that match, the way that went down, I think he lost a lot of opportunity, especially in that \u2018NXT\u2019 building,\u201d he said.
