Brock Rechsteiner, an undrafted wide receiver signed by the New Orleans Saints, was issued a six-game suspension for the start of the 2026 NFL season. While the league did not initially disclose the reason, subsequent reports indicated the penalty was for violating the “NFL-NFLPA performance-enhancing substances policy.” The suspension has impacted his prospects of making the Saints’ final roster. Consequently, reports suggest Rechsteiner is expected to join WWE in the coming months, where he may receive a “fast-tracked career push” similar to his cousin, Bron Breakker. Following his release from the Saints, WWE wrestler Bron Breakker commented on Rechsteiner’s future, expressing hope that his cousin enjoys a long NFL career before potentially transitioning to professional wrestling. While Rechsteiner may remain eligible for NFL practice squads during his suspension, reports indicate WWE may be interested in signing him once his football career concludes. It has also been noted that Rechsteiner reportedly held an NIL deal with WWE as of February 2025.
