Pat McAfee endorses Saints’ rookie wide receiver for WWE shot after training camp brawl
New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Brock Rechsteiner drew praise from ESPN broadcaster Pat McAfee for his performance in a training camp brawl with the Dallas Cowboys, with McAfee suggesting he could have a future in WWE. Rechsteiner is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Scott Steiner and nephew of fellow wrestler Rick Steiner, and video from the clash showed him applying pro wrestling moves, including a German suplex, on opposing players during the melee.
The brawl broke out earlier this week during a joint practice session between the Saints and the Cowboys, a common preseason occurrence when rival teams train together, though this one escalated into a wider fight. Rechsteiner's wrestling lineage and combative display prompted McAfee's endorsement, framing him as a natural fit for a WWE career should his football path not work out, though no formal WWE offer or move has been reported.
