Scott Steiner’s son Brock signs WWE NIL deal

The pathway is open for Scott Steiner’s son Brock to join WWE once he’s done with football.

A wide receiver for Jacksonville State, Brock Rechsteiner will be a redshirt senior next season. He’s expressed interest in becoming a pro wrestler once his football career ends — and Scott Steiner revealed last month that Brock had been offered a WWE NIL deal by Paul “Triple H” Levesque.

While the news was all but confirmed when Scott tweeted out a picture of Brock wearing a WWE NIL shirt, Scott’s other son Brandon Rechsteiner — a basketball player for Virginia Tech — confirmed to the Miami Herald that his brother has signed the WWE NIL offer.

“My brother, he’ll be a superstar in the WWE, for sure. Growing up, I was the big WWE fan. I mean, I had every action figure. I was the biggest WWE fan. You couldn’t tell me I wasn’t going to be John Cena when I was younger. And then I kind of — I was just that kid that was trying to go against everything,” Brandon said. “So my dad was a Michigan fan, I wanted Ohio State to win. My dad was a wrestler, I was like, ‘I don’t want to wrestle. I want to play basketball.’ Like, I was that kid. But when I was young-young, I loved it. And then when I was in middle school, I was like, ‘I’m not going to wrestle.’

“But now — my dream for me and my brother would both be to do the best we can in what we do — which him for football, me for basketball. And then, for my brother, I know he really wants to [be in] WWE. He has signed an NIL deal with WWE. So my dream for him would be to do really good in football, try to take it to the NFL, whatever that means, and then — he will be a WWE Superstar because he’s so talented and he has the charisma that my dad has.”

For himself, Brandon sees WWE as a “pretty cool backup plan.” He loves basketball and wants to try and make it professionally, whether that means the NBA, G League, or overseas. If he does end up in WWE, Brandon thinks it would be cool to form a tag team with his brother or a faction with them and their cousin Bron Breakker.

“We [could] do like a little Bloodline or something like that — just take it over,” Brandon said.

WWE launched its NIL (Next in Line) program in 2021, creating a pipeline between college athletics and NXT. Athletes who sign NIL deals receive support from WWE while in college and may be offered a full WWE developmental contract upon completion of the program.
