Bronson Rechsteiner, professionally known as Bron Breakker, is an American professional wrestler and former football player born on October 24, 1997, in Woodstock, Georgia.
He embodies a powerhouse wrestling style characterized by explosive athleticism and raw strength.
Breakker is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Rick Steiner and the nephew of Scott Steiner, the legendary tag team known as the Steiner Brothers, which has deeply influenced his career path.
Before fully committing to wrestling, he pursued American football, playing as a defensive end at Kennesaw State University and briefly signing with the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent in 2020.
Transitioning to professional wrestling, he signed with WWE in February 2021 and quickly rose through the ranks, debuting on NXT in 2021 under the ring name Bron Breakker.
Currently signed to WWE’s Raw brand, Breakker is recognized for his finishing moves, including the Spear, Gorilla Press Powerslam, and the Steiner Recliner camel clutch.
Siblings
Bron has two brothers, Hudson Rechsteiner and Maveric Rechsteiner, all raised by their parents, Rick Steiner and Jayme McKenzie, in Woodstock, Georgia.
Hudson Rechsteiner, the eldest of the three, followed a path similar to Bron’s early interests by excelling in football during high school and college.
Maveric Rechsteiner, the youngest, pursued a more academic route, earning a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and engaging in various athletic activities during his youth.
Career
Breakker’s wrestling journey began in earnest on October 8, 2020, with an independent match at WrestleJam 8 in Ringgold, Georgia, where he defeated Jamie Hall, marking his in-ring debut just months after his NFL release.
Signing a developmental contract with WWE in February 2021, Breakker trained at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, honing his skills in a powerhouse style that echoed his family’s tag-team heritage.

His televised debut came on the September 14, 2021, episode of NXT, where he decisively defeated LA Knight, immediately positioning him as a top prospect in NXT 2.0.
Breakker’s rapid ascent saw him capture the NXT Championship for the first time in January 2022 by dethroning Tommaso Ciampa at New Year’s Evil, kicking off a dominant run that included defenses against high-profile challengers and a memorable WarGames victory later that year.
After losing the title in 2023 to Carmelo Hayes following a 362-day second reign, the longest in NXT Championship history at that point, Breakker pivoted to tag team success, partnering with Baron Corbin as The Wolf Dogs to win the NXT Tag Team Championship and the Men’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.
Transitioning to the main roster in 2024, Breakker made his Raw debut with a trail of high-impact victories, spearing legends like Roman Reigns and even internet personality IShowSpeed in viral moments.
By April 2025, he turned heads by attacking Reigns and CM Punk, aligning with Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman to form the stable The Vision, which expanded to include Bronson Reed after interference at Saturday Night’s Main Event XXXIX.
This heel turn propelled Breakker into marquee feuds, solidifying his status as a versatile performer capable of singles dominance and faction warfare, with over 149 matches under his belt by late 2025 boasting a 70.5% win rate.
Accolades
Breakker’s crowning achievements include two NXT Championship reigns, the first lasting 62 days in 2022 and the second an extraordinary 361 days from 2023 to 2024, totaling 423 days as champion—the second-longest cumulative tenure behind only Adam Cole.
In the tag division, Breakker and Baron Corbin’s Wolf Dogs captured the NXT Tag Team Championship in 2024, complemented by their victory in the prestigious Men’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Tournament that same year.
Elevating to the main roster, Breakker secured multiple Intercontinental Championship reigns on Raw starting in 2024, showcasing his adaptability and drawing power in high-stakes defenses.
Beyond titles, his performances earned him spots in iconic events like NXT WarGames 2021, where he pinned Ciampa in a faction-defining win, and his 2025 alignment with The Vision stable highlighted his role in evolving WWE storylines.
Breakker’s in-ring prowess has also translated to cultural impact, with playable appearances in WWE 2K23, WWE 2K24, WWE 2K25, and even a 2020 cameo as himself in Madden NFL 21 during his football days, plus a 2025 Intuit commercial.
