Rechsteiner is the son of former WWE champion Scott Steiner. Scott wrestled alongside his brother Rick Steiner, with Rick’s son and Brock’s cousin currently wrestling in the WWE under the name Bron Breakker.

The WWE Next In Line program helps identify future stars and can prepare them for a career in wrestling, something that Rechsteiner has told the Gadsden Times that he is interested in doing once football ends.

“Right now I’m one hundred percent focused on football. Once I’m done football I’m going to get in to it,” Brock said in October of 2024.
