Highlights! Gable Steveson Suffers Shocking Upset!!!

Hoooooooly smokes!!!!

Olympic gold medalist and two-time NCAA Division I Heavyweight Champion Gable Steveson just got hit with a jaw-dropping upset by Oklahoma State’s Wyatt Hendrickson at the NCAA finals tonight (Sat., March 22, 2025) inside Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center.

Steveson looked poised to claim his third national title, nailing an early takedown on Hendrickson. But with just 30 seconds on the clock, Hendrickson snatched Steveson’s leg, powered through for a three-point takedown, and flipped the script. Clinging tight, he stunned the Olympic champ to steal the lead and clinch the Heavyweight crown in one of the wildest finishes ever.

Check out the insane upset below:

Matside announcer Mike Couzens, alongside former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) two-division champion Daniel Cormier, dubbed it “the biggest upset in NCAA history,” and he might not be wrong.

U.S. President Donald Trump was in attendance for the crazy upset and was saluted by Hendrickson, a Second Lieutenant in the United States Air Force.

Fresh off a fizzled WWE stint and a quick exit from the Buffalo Bills, Steveson returned to Minnesota for his final collegiate run, hungry for another national title to cap his legacy, and obviously, that dream crashed hard tonight.

In a gut-punch moment, Steveson called it quits on college wrestling, leaving his shoes on the mat as a symbolic farewell.

Even though he lost tonight, Steveson will go down as one of the greatest wrestlers in NCAA history and an Olympic champion.

Steveson has teased a move to mixed martial arts (MMA) after his college career, so after tonight, that cage door might swing open sooner than later.
