WWE surprise releases often catch fans off guard, and recently Adam Pearce sparked speculation online that he was released from the company. The Raw general manager shared a video on his Instagram, where he appeared to be delivering serious news about his WWE career coming to an end.
In the video, Pearce said, "Um, everyone, Happy Sunday. Um, I don’t know exactly how to start this. I got the unfortunate news this morning… on Sunday." He continued, "Um, but I am grateful that I was given the opportunity to publish this information before it was published. Well, we all realize that at some point the journey is over. And I guess, the bottom line is…"
However, as the video reached an emotional peak, the audio abruptly switched to Rick Astley’s iconic song "Never Gonna Give You Up," revealing that Pearce was actually joking.
Rather than being released, Pearce will remain in his role as the live general manager, continuing to deliver top-notch wrestling matches weekly. While WWE might release other talents before the year ends, Adam Pearce seems secure for now.
Fan Take: This moment highlights the unpredictable nature of WWE news and how fans can easily be misled by social media posts. Adam Pearce staying onboard ensures continuity in WWE storylines and the quality of live shows, which is crucial for the sport’s ongoing success.
