Saints' Brock Rechsteiner Suspended 6 Games by NFL, WR is Son of WWE Hall of Famer Scott Steiner

Brock Rechsteiner's NFL career is reportedly getting off to an inauspicious start.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Thursday the undrafted free agent who signed with the New Orleans Saints this offseason was suspended for the first six games of the 2026 campaign. He will be eligible to participate in preseason contests but will be suspended when the rosters are reduced to 53.

Rechsteiner is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Scott Steiner.

The wide receiver played collegiately at Jacksonville State but was not selected in the 2026 NFL draft.

He then participated in Saints rookie minicamp in May and showed enough to sign a deal with the NFC South team.

In addition to his father, Rechsteiner's uncle Rick Steiner is a WWE Hall of Famer. His cousin Bronson Rechsteiner signed with the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent but now wrestles in the WWE as Bron Breakker. 

Rechsteiner said in May he plans on pursuing wrestling after football.

But he is now facing a six-game suspension before even playing a single contest at the NFL level. The Saints start the 2026 campaign on Sept. 13 against the Detroit Lions.

Rechsteiner finished with 36 catches for 383 yards and five touchdowns in his final collegiate season at Jacksonville State.
