A changing of the guard will be broadcast live Tuesday night on USA Network.
Bronson Rechsteiner, the 24-year-old wrestling phenom, has an opportunity to become the face of the NXT 2.0 reboot when he challenges Tommaso Ciampa for the title at New Year’s Evil.
The son of Rick Steiner and nephew of Scott Steiner, Rechsteiner is an heir to wrestling royalty. The Steiner Brothers are bona fide legends, redefining tag team wrestling and leaving a lasting imprint on the industry. While the easy choice for Rechsteiner would have been adopting the Steiner name, allowing him to connect instantly with fans through his family’s brilliance, he opted to run a different route.
