Another Olympic Gold Medalist Hopes to Join WWE

ByMike ReichlinProfessional Wrestling Journalist


Olympic Gold Medalist Tamyra Mensah-Stock is waiting for WWE to offer her a contract.

Mensah-Stock made history last year by winning a gold medal in women\’s freestyle wrestling (68kg) at the 2020 Summer Olympic games from Tokyo, Japan.

WWE fans might remember she and Gable Steveson made a surprise in-ring appearance at SummerSlam.

Steveson has since signed a WWE contract and is seen by many as having the potential to be \”the next Kurt Angle.\”

According to Mensah-Stock, she\’s also interested in following in the footsteps of Kurt Angle (and Gable Steveson, for that matter).

Twitter user @TeeExTee asked Mensah-Stock when WWE is going to offer her a contract. She replied and said she\’s been wondering that same thing herself.
