Report: WWE Wants Scott Steiner’s Son After NFL Career

WWE has its eye on Brock Rechsteiner, the son of Hall of Famer Scott Steiner, for a future run once his football career winds down. A WWE official reportedly described the chances of Rechsteiner receiving an offer from the company as a “99.9 percent” certainty whenever his time in the NFL comes to an end.

Rechsteiner currently plays for the New Orleans Saints, carrying on the athletic legacy of his father, one of the most physically dominant performers of the Monday Night Wars era. Scott Steiner, alongside brother Rick, built a Hall of Fame career on a combination of amateur wrestling pedigree and larger-than-life bodybuilder aesthetics that made the Steiner name synonymous with a very specific brand of chaotic, hoss-style wrestling. If Brock eventually follows his father into the business, WWE clearly wants to be the promotion that lands him.

It wouldn’t be the first time WWE has plucked a prospect from the football ranks rather than the traditional independent circuit. The company has increasingly leaned on its Next In Line and Performance Center pipelines to recruit athletes from other sports — football, track, powerlifting, even Olympic disciplines — betting that raw athleticism and a recognizable frame can be developed into star power faster than waiting on years of independent dates. A built-in family connection to a legend like Scott Steiner only sweetens the pitch, giving WWE a ready-made narrative hook and a name that older fans will instantly recognize.

There’s no indication Rechsteiner is walking away from football anytime soon, and nothing here suggests a signing is imminent. This is, at this stage, a matter of the company signaling long-term interest rather than any kind of done deal. But the fact that a WWE higher-up would even frame it in such lopsided terms suggests the interest is genuine and has likely been discussed internally for some time, not just a passing thought floated to reporters.

For now, Rechsteiner remains focused on his NFL career with the Saints. But should that chapter close, it sounds like WWE will be waiting with a contract ready — banking on both his bloodline and his frame to make him a natural fit for a company that has never been shy about mining pro football for its next generation of stars. Whether he ultimately says yes remains to be seen, but the interest from WWE’s side appears to be about as strong as it gets.
