Adam Pearce says he has “less than zero interest” in wrestling again despite Nick Aldis coming out of retirement

Following WWE SummerSlam 2026, where SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis came out of retirement for a match, RAW General Manager Adam Pearce was asked by Love Wrestling if seeing Aldis return to the ring had brought back any desire to perform. Pearce was reminded that he has repeatedly said he is done wrestling but was asked if “the itch” was starting to come back.

Here was Pearce’s 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 48-year-old bald Caucasian Adam Pearce wearing tights in 2026 or beyond. This is something that will detach retinas. So we’re going to say no but we will not ever say never.”
