The company’s NIL program was launched in late 2021 and allows college athletes to make money from their name, image, and likeness.
Life In WWE Is The Family Business
Mark Henry enjoyed a long association with the sports entertainment giant after signing with the company following the 1996 Olympic Games. After leaving the company in 2021, Henry signed with AEW and stayed with the Tony Khan-led company for three years.
Meanwhile, Scott Steiner has had a much more tumultuous relationship with WWE and has repeatedly and openly criticised Triple H in the past. However, in more recent years, the star confirmed the pair have “buried the hatchet.”
Back in January, Scott Steiner confirmed WWE was planning to offer his son a NIL contract.
Steiner’s nephew, Bron Breakker, is widely considered one of the most impressive rising stars in WWE today, with fans and observers across the industry tipping him to be a main event player for years to come. Following two runs with the NXT Championship and two runs with the Intercontinental Championship, Breakker joined forces with Seth Rollins in the days after WrestleMania 41.
Breakker’s most recent appearance came at Money In The Bank, where he helped Seth Rollins win the men’s Money In The Bank Ladder Match.
