Scott Steiner comments on sons potentially joining WWE

Scott Steiner initially didn’t want his sons Brock and Brandon to become professional wrestlers, but it now seems like a realistic possibility.

Brock and Brandon Rechsteiner are both college athletes, with Brock playing football for Jacksonville State and Brandon playing basketball for Virginia Tech. Brock has already signed a WWE NIL deal, while Brandon considers pro wrestling to be a “pretty cool backup plan” depending on how things work out with his basketball career.

While appearing on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Scott Steiner said WWE started to show interest in his son Brock after he had a couple of standout performances in football games that aired on ESPN. Brock has been talking to his cousin Bron Breakker — the current WWE Intercontinental Champion — and is interested in becoming a wrestler. Though Scott never really wanted his sons to get into the business, he feels now is a good time with WWE thriving and AEW providing competition.

“I’m not sure,” Scott responded when asked if both Brock and Brandon will follow in his wrestling footsteps. “They both loved it when they were kids and when I wrestled. All sudden when I stopped they really didn’t pay attention to it too much. So I don’t know. Well, the thing that came about with Brock, because Brock, Brandon, and Bronson [Bron Breakker], and there’s a couple other guys get in sometimes, sometimes Brandon’s basketball friends or Bronson’s other guys at wrestling, they’ll play video games. So with Brock talking to Bronson all the time, and of course he’s on a trajectory that’s unbelievable. And he’s having fun. So he talks to Brock, then one thing led to another and he got the bug. He went out. He wanted to do it. There’s not a better time to be in wrestling, because there’s two [promotions]. WWE is doing phenomenal. Then you got AEW, so it’s always good to have competition. So I never really wanted them to go into wrestling, but I let them do what they want to do.”

Brandon Rechsteiner told the Miami Herald last month that, if he does become a wrestler, he likes the idea of forming a Bloodline-like faction with himself, his brother Brock, and their cousin Breakker.

The Steiners (Scott and Rick) were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2022.
