• Hall Of Famer Open To WWE Return After 22 Years
Scott Steiner has had a complicated history with WWE. After years of distance from the company, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame alongside his brother, Rick Steiner, as part of The Steiner Brothers in 2022. His nephew, Bron Breakker, continues to rise as one of WWE’s top young stars.
Bron, who held the NXT and Intercontinental Titles twice, is currently leading The Vision on RAW. The 28-year-old has been a part of the main event scene since April and is expected to receive a major push from WWE.
During a panel at Geek’d Con, Scott Steiner was asked if he would be open to appearing on-screen with Bron in WWE. The former WCW World Heavyweight Champion said that he’d be willing to return if the company wanted him to.
“I mean, I would definitely help them all if that’s what they wanted. I mean, I haven’t thought about it, but if they did think that I could do something with them, yeah, I’d definitely go back and help them out. It would be great.”
Scott Steiner’s last match in WWE was the 2004 Royal Rumble match almost 22 years ago. That was the last time Big Poppa Pump was an on-screen character in the company.
• Jinder Mahal Says Vince McMahon Didn’t Notice His Major Botch Against WWE Legend
In his Inside The Ropes interview, Jinder Mahal looked back at one of the most talked-about “botches” of his career – the moment during the 2018 Greatest Royal Rumble event where he appeared to take a bump from “thin air” in his match with Jeff Hardy.

The moment went viral among wrestling fans, leading to countless memes and criticism. But Jinder now laughs about it. He explained that it was simply a miscommunication between him and his manager at ringside, who mistimed his cue in Punjabi.
“He kept saying, ‘Not now, not now,’ and then suddenly switched to ‘now!’ – just as nothing actually happened,” Mahal said, laughing. “I felt something hit my back – it was just air – and I took the bump.”
Surprisingly, Vince McMahon didn’t even notice the mistake. Mahal revealed that when he went backstage afterward, Vince was in a great mood because of how successful the Saudi event was financially. “He was all smiles. I even brought it up and apologized, and Vince just laughed and said, ‘Ha,’” Mahal recalled.
While the internet roasted him for years, The Modern Day Maharaja said he takes it in stride. “Mistakes happen, man. I’m not perfect.”
• Triple H Reveals The Most Important Skill For Today’s Wrestlers
WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H recently appeared on the All-In podcast, where he discussed what he believes is the most important skill for today’s pro wrestlers.
The Game said that stars must be able to connect with fans to succeed and noted how WWE has supporters even in the White House.
“One of my tasks is to find that next generation of stars, so we have a robust program through college athletics, through an NIL program, a lot of different avenues where we find talent, but the key to it comes down to charisma and your innate ability to connect with people.
One of the things about WWE that I think is remarkable is it’s kind of a combination of everything. The athleticism, the showmanship, the charisma, the media skills that we teach from day one. When you leave WWE, whether you’ve been there for a long time or if you’ve had any level of success, you are so well suited to do just about anything in life.
I truly feel like for a lot of people, sometimes it can be a lot less about the things you know, and how good you are at them, as the charisma to get people to listen to you, and people will follow that leadership.
Even when it comes to politics, it’s amazing when I walk through the White House, over the past few months I’ve been there quite a few times, how many people in the White House are huge fans of WWE.”
Triple H visited the White House twice in recent months, first for the revival of the Presidential Fitness Test and later for the signing of an executive order on the use of artificial intelligence in pediatric cancer research.
Triple H On Why Donald Trump Became U.S. President Again: “He’s charismatic & larger than life”
The relationship between WWE and the U.S. government is at its peak. Triple H has been invited to the White House by President Donald Trump multiple times this year.
Trump, who is also a WWE Hall of Famer (celebrity wing), appeared in the company on several occasions. Speaking on the All-In Podcast, Triple H said that Trump’s charisma helped him succeed in WWE and also played a key role in him becoming the president again.
“I think if you go back through history – even in politics – and you look at the person that gets elected in every presidential cycle, it’s the most charismatic person on that stage that gets elected president. The issues are important.
The real life, day-to-day things that are important to people obviously are there, but at the end of the day, they’re picking who they like. They’re picking who connects with them. They’re picking who is charismatic to them.
Donald Trump was very good in our world of WWE because he was okay to be himself. He was okay to sort of get egg on his face and be embarrassed. Sometimes he was okay to put it all out there and just be him, but he’s charismatic. He’s larger than life. He’s not afraid to say what’s in front of him, right or wrong.”
