Adam Pearce Has ‘Less Than Zero Interest’ In Wrestling Again, But Says Never Say Never

Adam Pearce has a never-say-never mindset.
Love Wrestling is rolling out an interview with Monday Night Raw General Manager Adam Pearce. As the conversation moved along, SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis’ in-ring return was brought up.
Pearce was asked if he’s interested in making his in-ring return, and here was his response:
“Less than zero interest in putting on my size 13, Stagecoach boots. I am 48 years old and have no desire to put spandex on. You at home do not need to see a 48-year-old, bald Caucasian Adam Pearce wearing tights in 2026 or beyond. This is something that will detach retinas. So we’re gonna say no. But we will not ever say never.”
It seems that @ScrapDaddyAP is going to leave the boots and spandex to @RealNickAldis for the time being.@Pluggo_ sits down with RAW General Manager Adam Pearce! Drops at 5PM EST, link below! pic.twitter.com/OxJMAFqVrz
