THE STREAK HAS BEEN BROKEN!!! Wyatt Hendrickson has done it, the wrestler nicknamed Captain America took down a mountain on March 23, 2025, in the finals of the finals of the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships. Nobody would have thought what would be coming in the finals of the national championship, the Oklahoma state university wrestler who was thought of as an underdog has defeated the very fan favorite Gable Steveson.
“2⃣8⃣5⃣ CHAMPIONSHIP” announced InterMat on X with a video of the wrestler jumping around and celebrating in joy with his peers after doing what was seen as almost impossible with the American flag over his soldiers. “2LT WYATT HENDRICKSON” the tweet further read. 2LT here means second lieutenant which wyatt is in the air force, that’s where the nickname captain America comes from.
Wyatt has taken down Gable with a score of 5-4.
