The general manager of WWE RAW, Adam Pearce, shared an emotional tribute before SmackDown's this edition. This night's program will be the first edition of the Blue brand after WWE Elimination Chamber 2025, and will be broadcast live from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Pearce turned to Instagram before tonight's program to pay tribute to fighter Australian Suicide (Broderick Shepherd). The 32 -year -old recently passed away, and Pearce shared an emotional tribute to him today. Pearce said the veteran attended a seminar taught by himself and Colt Cabana in his day and sent good wishes to his family and friends.
“May you rest in peace, Australian Suicide. I met him years ago as Ryan Rollins: anxious, hungry, wanting to learn. He attended a seminar taught by me and Colt Cabana shortly before leaving Australia to Mexico, and was excited to immerse himself in the world of fight. He did it. My heart is with his family and friends, many of whom are also my friends. Adam Pearce.
Rhea Ripley also recently paid tribute to the veteran after his death. Shepherd was in a relationship with fighter Vanilla Vargas, and the couple had a son together.
Adam Pearce reveals his greatest repentance of WWE Elimination Chamber
RAW General Manager Adam Pearce recently shared his greatest repentance of WWE Elimination Chamber 2025.
Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn were involved in a personal rivalry, which led to a combat without sanction that took place in the PLE last Saturday night. Pearce did not want to program the fight, but finally yielded and made it official. Owens defeated Zayn in Elimination Chamber and went to attack him after the fight.
Randy Orton returned after being in Hiatus for a few months and planted Owens with an RKO. Adam Pearce resorted to social networks and pointed out that he will always regret having scheduled the fight without sanction between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn in Elimination Chamber.
“I will always regret having allowed them to have this 'fight'.
CM Punk and Seth Rollins fought for several minutes last Monday night at WWE RAW before finally stopped for security. Adam Pearce later announced that Punk and Rollins will compete in a steel cage fight next week at WWE RAW at Madison Square Garden.
