Bron Breakker is gearing up for his first appearance on the Grandest Stage Of Them All.
In what will be something of a rare feat, the imposing star will walk down the ramp for his WrestleMania debut with gold around his waist.
He is the current Intercontinental Champion, and will defend the title in a Fatal Four-way match against Penta, Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio on Sunday.
The odds are perhaps stacked against Breakker walking out with his reign intact, given he has three opponents to contend with this weekend.
But thankfully, professional wrestling is in his blood.
He is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Rick Steiner, and the nephew of Scott Steiner.
Thanks to his family heritage, Breakker melds the considerable skills of both Steiner Brothers, resulting in potentially the most impressive mix of strength and speed ever seen inside the squared circle.
At just 27-years-old, he is a ‘freak of nature’ who has put the entire locker-room on notice during his WWE run, and boasts a powerful mix of strength and intensity — as well as a devastating spear — whenever he steps into the ring.
Fans have even described him as the ‘most explosive’ star on the roster.
Defending the Intercontinental Championship — commonly described as the ‘workhorse title’ — in his debut WrestleMania is a clear sign of confidence that Triple H has in Breakker.
And his father will no doubt be proud, too.
Rick Steiner was a WCW legend who won eight World Tag Team Championships with the promotion, on top of runs with the United States Heavyweight Championship and the World Television Championship.
He found similar tag success in WWE, winning the WWF Tag Team Championship twice alongside brother Scott.
The Steiner Brothers were inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2022, but these days, Rick lives a very different life.
He has turned to a career in real estate in Georgia.
According to Wrestling Inc, he got his license back in 1995, just before he returned to WCW, but didn’t begin selling until mid-2004.
Rick Steiner and Associates currently serves the metropolitan Atlanta area, where Steiner himself has lived for more than 25 years.
Per his Zillow profile, the former wrestler has sold a total of 177 properties, ranging in price from $60,000 to $1.2million.
A two-million dollar plot, located in Woodstock, Georgia, is currently listed for sale.
While Breakker has recently revealed that father Rick has no intention of returning to the ring, he did fantasy-book a family showdown with The Bloodline during an interview with talkSPORT in January.
Ahead of the Royal Rumble, Breakker was asked who he would like to face in a six-man tag match, alongside Rick and Scott.
“I feel like if it was Roman Reigns and The Usos on the same team, there’s a lot of story there,” he told talkSPORT.
“There’s a lot of unfinished business in terms our families wrestling each other. They wrestled at WrestleMania 9.
“My dad and Scotty have wrestled the Samoan SWAT Team. They’ve wrestled the Headshrinkers. The list goes on.
“So I think that would be really cool. With, stipulations, a cool story, everything.”
While seeing Breakker suit up alongside The Steiner Brothers is nothing more than a fantasy, his appearance at WrestleMania 41 is a total reality.
And while Rick’s days in the ring are done, he will no doubt be proud to watch his son defend the Intercontinental title at the biggest show of the year.
