Scrap Iron’s entrance in WWE 2K26 uses his ROH theme, “Prelude to the Bludgeoning.” Pearce wrestled his last ROH match in August 2014. He lost to current AEW star “Hangman” Adam Page. The former world champion continued wrestling in other promotions throughout that year until joining WWE in 2021.

Pearce has yet to wrestle a full-fledged match since signing with the sports entertainment juggernaut. In the past, Goldberg was added as a playable character in WWE Games before he made his real-life return to the ring in 2016 for a match against Brock Lesnar. This has led to speculation that the RAW GM might also lace up his wrestling boots again after his inclusion in WWE 2K26.

Adam Pearce reacted to his WWE 2K26 entrance

RAW general manager Adam Pearce shared a tweet after WWE Games dropped his entrance video on social media. On X, he wrote that he was delighted that his “Mama’s black velvet” made it to WWE 2K26. He thanked Kip Patrick Russell and Matt Jenkins for his theme song, “Prelude to the Bludgeoning”.

Pearce revealed that he wrote the lyrics to the track that the artists made. Scrap Iron concluded, writing that the niche audience who saw him in ROH would understand what this moment meant to him. He was thankful to his supporters.

For years, gamers were required to use Create-a-Superstar (CAS) to play with Pearce in WWE Games. He was primarily an NPC (non-playable character) carrying out only his managerial duties there, and that too in story modes. However, this year’s edition will introduce him as a playable character, allowing the RAW GM to hit the ropes at least virtually.
