Rick Steiner’s behavior didn’t cause heat for Bron Breakker.

In April, Rick Steiner was banned from WrestleCon after making transphobic comments towards IMPACT Wrestler Gisele Shaw, with the behavior corroborated by several people who witnessed it. For those questioning that the incident happened, Rick Steiner confirmed it to multiple people that Fightful spoke with since, as well, though we weren’t given any color on the situation.

Bron Breakker recently spoke to USA Today and stated that his father, Rick Steiner’s transphobic comments do not reflect him. There was no heat from WWE towards Breakker, but we’re told that it eliminated any chance of the company using Rick Steiner for quite some time. WWE sources that we spoke to on the matter said there was no consideration in holding Breakker responsible for something his father did, and that Breakker has had no character issues whatsoever since joining the company.

That's good. Bron shouldn't get any sort of heat for what his asshole father did.

Magan Yusuf

Bron’s got a good head on his shoulders. The sins of the father shouldn’t fall on him.

I think we are all retroactively glad that they didn't saddle him with the Steiner name and legacy

Imagine if everyone was held accountable for their parents beliefs and actions. My life would suck!

That would be silly if there was heat on Bron.

Jesus Cisneros

Bron wasn't the one that said it so it's only right he doesn't get a punishment. Wouldn't sit right with people.

So glad there’s no heat in bron. His asshole dad shouldn’t reflect him. I saw him on sheamus’s Celtic warrior workouts and he seems like such a nice down to earth dude

Any problems wouldn’t necessarily be with Bron directly, but non NXT viewers discovering Bron for the first time would come across Rick Steiner’s comments.

Tori Melching

Great reason not to have the Steiner name.

I guess he knew he was better off not using the Steiner name.

Good Reason for Bron to have made his statement the way he did. Good for him.
