Brock Rechsteiner, the son of WWE Hall of Famer Scott Steiner and cousin of Bron Breakker, could be heading to WWE in the near future.
During the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez discussed Rechsteiner’s potential move to professional wrestling. Rechsteiner signed with the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free-agent wide receiver this offseason, but he was recently suspended for six games for violating the NFL-NFLPA performance-enhancing substances policy.
Meltzer believes that the suspension could make Rechsteiner’s chances of sticking with the Saints even more difficult and expects him to eventually make his way to WWE. He said,
“I expect he will be WWE-bound within a couple months. Suspended or not, he was a long shot to make the team. I mean, he wasn’t drafted or anything like that. The suspension can’t help his odds of making the team at all. He was suspended for six games, so when it comes to being cut, he’s probably getting cut.”
“But his future is probably WWE, and he’s said as much as well. I think he’s giving the football a shot. It’s the exact same thing that Bronson [Bron Breakker] had, where he wasn’t suspended, obviously, but he was in the Ravens camp, and he was cut. He was a long shot to make it, undrafted. Great athlete.”
“I mean, his athletic numbers, Bronson’s athletic numbers were great. He had very good speed, great strength, but too short for his position essentially for the NFL, which, that’s just how they viewed it. And his cousin is a wide receiver, good-looking, good body. But yeah, I mean, I could see him in WWE easily and getting fast-tracked just like Bron.”
Rechsteiner previously signed with WWE’s NIL program last year but ultimately chose to pursue a career in the NFL.
