Nick Aldis steps in as WWE Raw GM: Fans brace for eventful night in Green Bay
WWE Raw is set to deliver a fresh twist this Monday night as SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis fills in for Adam Pearce , who is currently on a short vacation. The unexpected change in authority has already created a buzz among fans, especially with Aldis teasing his return to the red brand with a confident message on social media.
"Honored to once again take the helm at Monday Night Raw tomorrow night in Green Bay! #WWERaw," Aldis wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Action-packed lineup for Monday Night RawDespite Pearce’s absence, the Raw card remains strong with multiple marquee matches and returning superstars. The King and Queen of the Ring tournaments continue, featuring two high-stakes Fatal 4-Way bouts. On the men’s side, Sheamus, Rusev, Bronson Reed, and Jey Uso will compete for a coveted spot in the next round. Meanwhile, Asuka returns to action to face Stephanie Vaquer, Ivy Nile, and Raquel Rodriguez in what promises to be a hard-fought women’s matchup.
Liv Morgan is also scheduled to address her recent shocking attack on WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella. Fans can expect high drama as the reigning chaos-maker continues to stir the pot. In addition, Bayley will address her return and attack on Becky Lynch - two segments likely to move major storylines forward.
Mixed reactions and rising speculation
Aldis' involvement has sparked mixed reactions online. While many fans are excited by his controlled and calculated leadership style, others are speculating whether this move could plant seeds for a future rivalry with Pearce - or even an in-ring return. As recently as last year, Pearce hinted at a potential showdown between the two authority figures, calling the idea tempting.
Fan comments reflect anticipation. “You already know he’s gonna be lurking backstage, waiting for someone to throw hands so he can finally ‘make it official,’” one user joked. Another added, “I know when this guy fills in, unexpected matches happen.”
For now, Adam Pearce’s absence is confirmed to be short-lived, with sources stating it’s simply a well-deserved break rather than a sign of any shake-up in WWE’s leadership. However, Aldis stepping in once again - for what’s now becoming a recurring role, has sparked fan curiosity about whether WWE could be testing the waters for more frequent cross-brand authority involvement.
Until then, Monday night’s Raw in Green Bay could serve as another quiet chapter in a much bigger narrative. And if Aldis has any surprises up his sleeve, fans may look back at this episode as the moment WWE’s authority landscape began to shift.
