Another Steiner planning WWE career down the line
Another member of the Steiner family is planning to enter the wrestling business down the line.
After going undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft, Brock Rechsteiner — the son of Scott Steiner — is currently attempting to make it into the league with the New Orleans Saints. The wide receiver is part of the Saints’ rookie minicamp and is committed to going as far in football as he can. But whenever football inevitably ends, Rechsteiner intends to become a pro wrestler.
“For sure,” Rechsteiner responded when WDSU News asked if watching his legendary father inspired him to pursue wrestling. “It really inspired me when he got inducted into the [WWE] Hall of Fame, back in Dallas, I think it was 2022. That inspired me to, once I’m done playing football — I want to pursue football as long as I can, play as long as I can — but once I’m done, I’ll get into wrestling too.”
Rechsteiner played for Jacksonville State in college and has already been under a WWE NIL deal. His road to WWE could closely mirror his cousin Bron Breakker, who played fullback in college and spent time in training camp with the Baltimore Ravens before joining NXT.
“I work out with him all the time back home,” Rechsteiner said about Breakker. “I go fishing with him a lot, because he moved back to Georgia. And he really convinced me to, once I’m done playing football, he said play football as long as I can and once I’m done playing football, get into the wrestling business.”
Scott Steiner’s sons are both athletes with Brock playing football and Brandon playing basketball. Brandon Rechsteiner sees wrestling as a potential backup plan for himself as well, but he knows Brock will be in WWE one day because of the charisma and talent his brother has.
When asked what his wrestling name would be, Brock said he hasn’t given much thought to it but hopes that he would just be “Brock Steiner.”
Breakker — Rick Steiner’s son — was given a new last name in WWE instead of directly continuing the Steiner lineage. A grudge match is taking place at WWE Backlash tonight with Breakker facing off against Seth Rollins.
