Was Brock Lesnar splitting RAW GM Adam Pearce's pants a scripted moment? Exploring the truth

RAW General Manager, Adam Pearce experienced the wrath of Brock Lesnar a few years ago. During an episode of SmackDown on October 22, 2021, Pearce suspended Lesnar for attacking referees, a cameraman, and other WWE officials during his brawl with Roman Reigns and The Usos.

Enraged by the suspension, Lesnar stormed towards the ring and delivered two vicious F5s to Adam Pearce. While the move looked vicious on both occasions, the first one did a little extra damage, ripping Pearce's pants. During a recent appearance on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, Pearce revealed if the moment was scripted or not.

He said that although the incident wasn't pre-planned it was rather hilarious. Pearce even communicated to Lesnar after the wardrobe malfunction. without knowing about it, and the two stars improvised for the second F5. Pearce also praised The Beast for being the freak athlete that he was.

“That was amazing. They split on the first one, which was hilarious. I remember saying to Brock 'Hey, how do you grab for the F5? I know it’s a firemans carry.' So he showed me how he’s gonna grab me and I said 'Don’t worry, I’ll get light for you.' He goes 'You don’t have to.' I said 'I know I don’t have to, but I will. Brother, I got you.' What a pro. What a freak athlete," he said.

When asked if he knew his pants were ripped apart after the first F5, Pearce replied he didn't and that everyone backstage was laughing at him for the wardrobe malfunction.

"No, I didn’t know they split until I got in the back and everyone was laughing at the fact that I split my pants and I was like, why don’t you take two F5s and see what happens,” quipped Pearce.

Wrestling veteran says Brock Lesnar would destroy UFC legend in a real fight

While Brock Lesnar majorly made a name for himself in WWE, his accomplishments in Ultimate Fighting Championship cannot be ignored.

After making his octagon debut in 2008, Lesnar achieved success in the promotion quickly as he beat Randy Couture to become the UFC Heavyweight Champion in November 2008. While these achievements would sound scary to most, one man who doesn't seem affected by Lesnar's aura and has constantly called him out in the past is Conor McGregor.

Recently, during an appearance on Sportskeeda Wrestling, Kenny Bolin brought this topic up and said Brock Lesnar would beat McGregor in a real fight. He said whether he liked the 47-year-old or not was not the question, and that he was stating only facts. He truly believed The Notorious stood no chance in a real fight against The Beast Incarnate.

"Conor McGregor was talking sh*t on Brock Lesnar. Now whether I like Brock Lesnar, whether I don't, Lesnar's gonnabeat the dog sh*t out of Conor McGregor. If he gets him down, Conor's f***ed. So I look at wrestling like do I believe what I'm about to see," said Bolin. [From 30:25 onwards]

Check out his comments in the video below:

A fight between Brock Lesnar and McGregor would never be possible in UFC. The obvious reason behind it is the weight difference between the two athletes. While Lesnar is a heavyweight, the highest weight class McGregor has fought in is welterweight. Only time will tell if the two athletes ever come face to face inside an octagon or otherwise.
