New Orleans Saints<\/a> rookie Brock Rechsteiner was involved in a training camp brawl with the Dallas Cowboys earlier this week. Rechsteiner, the son of WWE Hall of Famer Scott Steiner and nephew of Rick Steiner, was seen putting on pro wrestling moves to some of his opponents.<\/p>\n

Rechsteiner\u2019s involvement caught the eye of Pat McAfee, who used to be on the WWE commentary team with Michael Cole before stepping away thanks to Randy Orton\u2019s loss to Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 42 earlier this year.<\/p>\n

“This is Scott Steiner\u2019s boy doing Rick Steiner\u2019s German suplex and three, two and one, boom! He needs to just head to NXT right now and join Bron (Breakker) as the Steiner Brothers could return in this whole thing,” McAfee said on his show<\/a> on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Rechsteiner\u2019s cousin, Bron Breakker<\/a>, is one of the fastest-rising stars in WWE. Breakker is set to face off against Oba Femi at Sunday Night\u2019s Main Event on Sept. 6.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Saints rookie was suspended for the first six games of the NFL season for violating the league\u2019s performance-enhancing drug policy.<\/p>\n

The former Jacksonville State wide receiver had 53 catches for 629 yards and seven touchdowns from 2023 to 2025. In his final year with the Gamecocks, he had 36 catches for 383 yards and five touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Rechsteiner, and his brother Brandon, previously signed NIL deals with WWE last year. Brandon Rechsteiner was a guard for the Colorado State Rams men\u2019s basketball team. He averaged 12 points per game with the Rams during the 2025-26 season and announced he was transferring to Kansas State.<\/p>\n
