Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis have competing positions as the GMs of Raw and Smackdown, and Pearce recently weighed in on a potential match between them. Pearce spoke about the idea of battling his rival GM in the ring during his interview on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, and you can see some highlights below (per Wrestling Inc):
On the notion of a match between them: “100%. Right now. Let’s go. How much can you pay me? … Those that know, know. I’ve been done for 10 years. December 21 of this year will be 10 years to the day I had my last match … Now I have to back up. If you rewind five years or so, I guess you could say that I hold a singles victory over Shinsuke Nakamura, which was the main event of a Smackdown.”
On fan speculation of such a match: “Yeah, there’s something there. And there’s a lot of air and opportunity between Nick and I. … But here’s the thing — you have to want it. I don’t think he wants that. Neither one of us are ever gonna angle for a position in the spotlight like that. I think we’re both content, very happy, and very honored to have the positions we have in WWE currently. … [But] I ain’t afraid to get my hands dirty either. So if the situation calls for it, I’m sure Nick would be down for it.”
