Former RAW General Manager to make WWE return after a year and replace Adam Pearce? Potential hint analyzed

WWE RAW is currently under the management of Adam Pearce, who serves as the General Manager of the red brand. Recently, Pearce has become the talk of the town due to several cryptic posts on his official X (fka Twitter) account. These posts, shared without captions, have left fans speculating about their meaning.

One of the cryptic posts features Adam Pearce, Seth Rollins, and Mick Foley. The photo dates back to 2016–2017, during Mick Foley's tenure as the General Manager of Monday Night RAW. In the image, Foley appears visibly angry with Rollins, known as The Visionary, for his actions. This post has sparked widespread speculation among fans.

One prevalent theory is that the veteran Mick Foley might return to WWE and eventually replace Adam Pearce as RAW’s GM. Given Mick Foley's experience as RAW’s General Manager, he seems like a strong candidate, making this scenario a realistic possibility. A probable storyline could involve Adam Pearce failing to maintain order on RAW in the coming weeks.

Consequently, higher authorities, including Triple H and others, might decide to remove Pearce from his position and appoint Mick Foley as the new General Manager. This potential development could serve as a compelling storyline to spice things up on RAW. Notably, Adam Pearce's lack of control has already been evident.

For instance, Bronson Reed recently appeared on SmackDown to destroy the OG Bloodline, despite being a RAW Superstar. This further reinforces the possibility of Pearce being punished by losing his position and being replaced by Mick Foley if he fails to restore order to the red brand.

What could be next for Adam Pearce if gets removed from the position of WWE RAW's GM?

If Adam Pearce is removed from his on-screen role as RAW General Manager, it is possible that this could pave the way for his in-ring return for a final match. With major names like John Cena and Goldberg rumored to retire from WWE next year, Pearce might join the list by stepping back into the squared circle for one last ride.

The Stamford-based promotion could grant him a break from television following his potential removal as GM, allowing him time to prepare for an in-ring comeback. Afterward, Pearce could return to compete in a retirement match to close out his career as part of WWE.

Alternatively, he might make a surprise appearance as an entrant in the Men's Royal Rumble match. This is particularly true if he loses the RAW GM position before the WWE Royal Rumble Premium Live Event next year.
