WWE brought back an older concept in recents years. Each brand, RAW, SmackDown and NXT would have a general manager to keep order. It allowed for storylines to be created and expanded, depending on who was in running the show. In October of last year, Adam Pearce was allowed to run RAW, with Nick Aldis getting the nod for SmackDown. They went an intersting route for NXT, going with Ava; who is the daughter of The Rock.
Before WWE, Pearce was well-known to wrestling fans. He has worked around the world and was a regular in NWA. In fact, he held the prestigious NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Eventually, WWE took notice and brought Pearce in. Although, he joined as a producer and writer for the now defunct 205 Live show. While on Chaotic Good Sports, Pearce went over how he scored a televised role.
Adam Pearce Did Not Initially Join WWE To Be RAW General Manager
“I’ll tell you a funny story of how this all came about,” said Pearce. “I handled all the wrestling matches, put the finishes together, booked the angles, all that kind of stuff. They liked the way my voice sounded when I read the script, I put glasses on, and I had more of a certain way, and here we are. Things happen in hilarious ways in our business. I have been the authority figure on WWE TV at this point almost longer than anybody that’s ever done it. That is mind-blowing to me.”
Despite being RAW General Manger, Adam Pearce is still involved in the action. Seeing him taking a blow from another superstar is not uncommon. In fact, it is one of the perks of having a wrestler be in an authoritative type role. As for an in-ring return, it seems possible.
