In a lighthearted twist on the typical news of WWE releases, Adam Pearce, the General Manager of RAW, created a stir on social media with a tongue-in-cheek video that initially suggested he had been let go from his position. In the Instagram clip, Pearce began with a somber tone, hinting at unfortunate news regarding his future with WWE.
He stated, “Um, Happy Sunday everybody. Um, not exactly sure how to start this. Got some unfortunate news this morning… on a Sunday.” As he built the suspense, viewers braced for serious announcements, only to find the audio switch to Rick Astley’s iconic song “Never Gonna Give You Up,” pulling off a classic rickroll.
This playful act confirms that Pearce remains in his role as Raw General Manager, a position in which he has consistently delivered engaging content and high-quality matches each week. While the WWE has seen its share of releases this year, it seems Pearce is safe for the time being, and fans can continue to enjoy his contributions to the brand.
Pearce’s humorous approach may serve as a reminder that not all news in the wrestling world needs to be serious, and his continued presence promises to keep the excitement alive in WWE programming.
