Jim Varsollone held a recent interview with Brandon Rechsteiner, son of WWE Hall of Famer Scott Steiner. One of the topics discussed included Rechsteiner announcing that his brother Brock had recently signed a NIL contract with WWE.
“So my brother, he’ll be a superstar in the WWE, for sure. Growing up, I was the big WWE fan. I had every action figure. I was the biggest WWE fan. You couldn’t tell me I wasn’t gonna be John Cena when I was younger and then I kind of — I was just that kid that was trying to go against everything so my dad was a Michigan fan, I wanted Ohio State to win. My dad was a wrestler. I was like, ‘I don’t wanna wrestle. I want to play basketball.’ 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 gonna 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 N.I.L. 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 getting — and he will be a WWE superstar because he’s so talented and he has the charisma that my dad has and then for me, I wanna try to do as much basketball, whether I get drafted, I go undrafted, I get a G League offer, I go overseas, whatever it’ll be. Because I just love the game and then, to be in the WWE would be a pretty cool backup plan. Maybe be a Steiner brother 2.0 or me, Bronson (Bron Breakker) and my brother, we do a little Bloodline or something like that and just take it over.”
Rechsteiner also gave his thoughts about his cousin’s Bron Breakker’s spear to IShowSpeed in the Men’s Royal Rumble match at this past January’s Royal Rumble 2025 event.
“So, I was obviously watching (the Royal Rumble when Bron Breakker speared IShowSpeed). I think that was when we were coming back from UVA. So, I was watching with some of the guys and I didn’t expect it to go as viral as it did. My brother actually got flown out for the event because he was with the N.I.L. club at WWE. But man, I was just like, ‘Dang,’ and then just everyone’s posting it, all my friends are posting it, not knowing that’s my cousin… I’m cool with all the dudes in WWE. We play the video game together, all those top guys. Seeing when my cousin got posted, I’m like, ‘Dang, that would be cool to do one day…’ My cousin, he was good to me too. He played football. Sometimes I would go over there and work out with him and he always believed in me as a football player and he was a beast so that spear that he’s done, if you see him tackle when he was a linebacker in high school, it was ridiculous. To me, he was the best football player I’ve seen in high school.”
