An interesting thing in WWE right now is how the company has featured the onscreen authority figures of all three brands. SmackDown has been led by Nick Aldis, RAW by Adam Pearce, and Ava sits at the helm of NXT. Auguably, they have been the perfect trio to handle their respective rosters.
In addition to that, some instances of Pearce and Aldis arguing over some decisions and opportunities have added to the essence of the main roster brand competition again, which has been a treat to watch over the past few months.
While Pearce appears to be the perfect person to manage the red brand, he will be replaced by the SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis this week, which the former announced, and the latter acknowledged on X/Twitter. The same happened a few months ago as week as well, when Pearce was not available for the Monday night show.
“Honored to once again take the helm at Monday Night Raw tomorrow night in Green Bay! #WWERaw,” Aldis wrote.
This week’s absence of the RAW General Manager raises questions over why Aldis was replacing the 46-year-old yet again. The only reason is that the veteran is on a short and well-deserved vacation. Further, it is seemingly clear that Pearce is not going anywhere and there will be no changes to the General Managers of the three brands.
However, a major fact to note is that Pearce has a very different way of managing the action on the red brand while Aldis has things much controlled demeanor on the blue brand. It will be interesting to see how things play out when the SmackDown General Manager fills in for Adam Pearce on WWE RAW this week.
Adam Pearce teased facing Nick Aldis in a WWE match last year
The RAW General Manager Adam Pearce has not been in the ring since March 2021 and is not expected to return to the squared circle anytime soon. However, he addressed a potential in-ring return a few months ago on Instagram.
The veteran addressed facing the SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis after being asked by a fan. While the legend didn’t quite answer the question, he clearly teased the match between the two authority figures for the future.
“I’ve thought about it a lot, and I said I’d never angle for a match, and I won’t. But if you are asking me to be honest, would I come back to active wrestling and face Nick Aldis? The short answer is…” said Pearce.
Only time will tell what WWE has in store for the two General Managers in the future.
