Bobby Steveson’s in-ring debut set for WWE 205 Live

Bobby Steveson’s in-ring debut is part of the lineup for this week’s Christmas Eve episode of 205 Live.

Steveson, who is going by the name Damon Kemp in WWE, will face Andre Chase on 205 Live this Friday night. Steveson joined the WWE Performance Center this August. He announced his new in-ring name last month.

In October, Gable was drafted to Raw in the WWE Draft.
