Team USA is set to compete in the 4th Ranking Series tournament of the year on July 13-16 in Budapest, Hungary. For most of Team USA, this will be the final preparation event before the senior world championship in September. There are a number of storylines that will unfold in Hungary but we highlighted the top 5 in the below article for Team USA’s men’s freestyle squad.

How is this for an improbable ending?

I would like to start off this article by saying that I hope Team USA goes 10 for 10 at Worlds and dominates the entire way and that USA Wrestling has become so good in the past handful of years that just making the team automatically makes you a medal threat at the World Championships. Look at how many medalists are sitting home this year. That being said, I’m trying to provide information to help fans set realistic expectations. At weights where I did not predict a gold medal, I’m not saying that wrestler isn’t capable, just looking at data including past results and international fields.

Before Final X, many wrestling fans expected the US to send a veteran squad to Serbia for the World Championships in hopes of repeating as World Champs and adding to sky-high individual medal counts. While a team title and individual medals are of course on the table, the World Team that emerged on Saturday night has a mix of veterans and unexpected newcomers. All-told, six out of ten men's freestylers will join four veterans to compete in their first World Championships this September. One of the six newcomers, Gable Steveson, is an Olympic gold medalist, so while this will be his first World Championships, he's been on this kind of stage before.

The 32-year-old David Taylor defeated Iran’s Hassan Yazdani in the title match in Serbia last September. It was his second world championship (2018).

Final X 2023 presented by Tezos is set to go down on June 10 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. This event will feature the best wrestlers in the United States as they seek to make Team USA’s 2023 World Team. One of the biggest matches of the night will be a battle of Penn State NCAA champions - David Taylor vs Aaron Brooks.

The most exclusive club in wrestling is 12 members strong. Gable Steveson could be number 13 if he makes a World team.

Head coach: Cael Sanderson
