WWE Reportedly Not Allowing Announcers To Acknowledge Bron Breakker is Rick Steiner’s Son

During Tuesday’s episode of WWE NXT, Bron Breakker (real name Bronson Rechsteiner) made his debut by defeating LA Knight in the middle of the ring and later had a staredown with new NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa. He reportedly was going to use the name Rex Steiner, but came out as Breakker instead. During the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, it was noted that WWE told its announcers not to acknowledge that Breakker is the son of Rick Steiner.

Neither Rick nor Scott Steiner were mentioned during the broadcast, although Vic Joseph managed to get a “Dog Faced Gremlin” reference in, the closest they came to referencing the Bron Breaker biography.

They also aren’t allowed to mention he is a second generation wrestler. This is notable in that Brooks Jensen, the son of Bull Buchanan, was mentioned a second generation wrestler, although Bull was never brought up by name.

Bron Breaker’s age is 23 and he is a former NFL player for the Baltimore Ravens, who released him in August of 2020. He’s also a former member of the Kennesaw State University football team. WWE is said to have huge plans for the American wrestler.
