Bronson Rechsteiner, also known as Bron Breakker, is a prominent figure in the world of professional wrestling, particularly in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) under the NXT brand.

Although, before his successful wrestling career, Rechsteiner had aspirations of playing in the National Football League (NFL) as a fullback.

Let's delve into the details of his NFL journey and how it eventually led him to the world of wrestling.

NFL Aspirations

Rechsteiner, a former Kennesaw State fullback, entered the NFL combine with hopes of pursuing his professional football dreams.

Known for his physicality and athleticism, there was optimism surrounding his potential to become the first player in the Owls program history to be drafted into the NFL. 

Despite being signed as an undrafted free agent by the Baltimore Ravens, his NFL journey faced setbacks, and he was eventually released during the summer after being dealt a blow due to the cancellation of rookie camps and minicamps caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Transition to WWE

Following his release from the Ravens, Rechsteiner transitioned to the world of professional wrestling, signing with WWE.

This decision proved to be pivotal in shaping his career, and he has since become a notable figure in NXT, ultimately capturing the NXT Championship twice under the ring name Bron Breakker.

NFL Connections

Rechsteiner's ties to the NFL extend beyond his aspirations to play in the league. Notably, he trained with veteran NFL trainer Chip Smith in Georgia, where he worked alongside several top prospects, including former Alabama and Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts.

Rechsteiner's association with Hurts, who was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2020 draft, reflects his deep-rooted connection to the football world.

Rechsteiner's WWE Success

Since making his debut in WWE, Rechsteiner has achieved significant success in NXT, solidifying his position as a blue-chip prospect within the organization.

His performances, including winning the NXT Championship and engaging in high-profile matches, have garnered attention and established him as a prominent figure in the wrestling industry.

Speculations of Main Roster Promotion

As of recent reports, there are indications that Rechsteiner is poised for a promotion to the main roster following this year's WrestleMania, marking a potential transition to the demanding travel schedule of a WWE performer.

This prospect aligns with the legacy of his father, the legendary Rick Steiner, who traversed the globe during his wrestling career, and the support Rechsteiner has received from him in his own wrestling journey.

 

While Bron Breakker has made his mark in the world of professional wrestling, his NFL aspirations and brief stint with the Baltimore Ravens add an intriguing layer to his journey.

From NFL hopeful to NXT Champion, Rechsteiner's career trajectory exemplifies the resilience and adaptability required to navigate the diverse landscapes of professional sports and entertainment.

Bron Breakker's transition from the NFL to WWE serves as a compelling testament to his versatility and determination, solidifying his status as a multifaceted athlete and entertainer.
