WWE appears to be on the verge of bringing in several multi-generational stars whose fathers have had plenty of history with the company.
With the likes of Bron Breakker and Dominik Mysterio becoming young success stories in recent years, and an NXT roster that features talent like Charlie Dempsey, Brooks Jensen, Lexis King and Uriah Connors with famous wrestling fathers, there could be more stars of the future lined up.
Here are seven more WWE stars’ sons who could sign with WWE.
7. Brock Rechsteiner
The son of Rick Steiner, Bron Breakker is currently tearing it up on the WWE main roster as part the company’s hottest act, but he might not be the only second-generation star from the Steiner family.
Scott Steiner’s son, Brock Rechsteiner, has recently signed an NIL deal – an agreement that provides financial support to college athletes and could lead to a WWE developmental contract after graduation.
Brock is currently playing football for Jacksonville State but has expressed interest in pursuing a WWE career once his football days are over.
It now seems like a distinct possibility that we will one day see a next-generation Steiner Brothers tag team in WWE.

6. Austin & Colten Gunn
When the inexperienced sons of Attitude Era legend Billy Gunn debuted in AEW, some dismissed them as a classic case of nepotism.
However, over time, The Gunns proved the doubters wrong – developing into a genuinely talented and underrated team within AEW’s tag division.
With undeniable charisma and presentation that screams WWE, the Gunn brothers seem destined to follow in their father’s footsteps.
Currently absent from AEW programming, could we soon see them appear in WWE – perhaps even alongside their father?

5. Jacob Henry
Scott Steiner isn’t the only wrestling legend whose son has signed a recent NIL deal with WWE.
As part of WWE’s latest NIL class, another standout name is Jacob Henry – the son of “The World’s Strongest Man” Mark Henry.
Jacob Henry is currently competing as a dual-sport athlete at the University of Oklahoma in both football and wrestling.
It certainly looks like a strong possibility that we see him follow in his father’s footsteps and soon enter a WWE ring.

4. TJ Bullard
The third and final second-generation name in the latest WWE NIL class was TJ Bullard.
Bullard is the son of former WWE Tag Team Champion and Hall of Fame Warrior Award winner Titus O’Neil.
He’s currently a linebacker for the UCF Knights, standing 6’1″ and weighing 200 pounds.
With an NIL deal, he has a ready-made path to WWE should he want to pursue a pro-wrestling career like his father.

3. David Finlay
The son of legendary tough guy wrestler and former WWE United States Champion Fit Finlay, David Finlay has been working in New Japan Pro-Wrestling for a decade — working his way up from Young Lion to recently holding the NJPW Global Heavyweight Championship.
Regarded as one of the most improved wrestlers of recent years, Finlay has developed into an elite in-ring worker.
There’s been long-standing speculation that Finlay could make the jump to WWE, and with his brother Brogan Finlay now part of the company’s developmental system – a regular on NXT TV as Chase U member Uriah Connors – the possibility has only grown stronger.
Another third-generation Finlay in WWE seems increasingly likely – the only question is how soon it might happen.

2. TNT
The twin tag team TNT – Terrence & Terrell Hughes – are the sons of WWE Hall of Famer D-Von Dudley.
Then an inexperienced team, the pair originally took part in a WWE tryout back in 2018 and have since appeared on AEW programming in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023.
Their work has steadily improved in recent years on the independent scene, with appearances in the NWA and most recently for GCW over WrestleMania weekend.
Perhaps we could one day see a next-generation Dudley team step into a WWE ring.

1. HOOK
HOOK is currently out injured from AEW after suffering a concussion.
His return to television is reportedly imminent, perhaps heading into a feud with Samoa Joe after seeds were planted during the recent Anarchy in the Arena match.
But a WWE run could also be in the future for the son of legendary ECW World Champion Tazz.
With a look that feels tailor-made for WWE, it wouldn’t be a surprise if, at the end of his AEW contract, the company makes a serious play for this second-generation star.
