Ex-WWE Champion Calls Out Adam Pearce Because Of AJ Styles
A former WWE Champion isn’t happy with Raw GM Adam Pearce because of what AJ Styles was given.
The life of WWE Raw General Manager Adam Pearce isn’t an easy one. As the man who runs Monday Night Raw, Pearce is constantly trying to give superstars what they want, but he also has to be reasonable about it.
An example of the chaos on Raw happened during a backstage segment when Pearce spoke to WWE legend AJ Styles, and there was an interruption from the WWE Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio.
After Styles and Pearce exchanged pleasantries about AJ’s incredible match with John Cena at Crown Jewel, Dominik walked in to complain about having to defend the Intercontinental Title next week against Rusev. According to Dom, it was as if he were the only champion defending his title.
AJ Styles picked up on what Dirty Dom was saying and suggested that maybe Dom’s allies in The Judgment Day, Finn Balor & JD McDonagh, should defend the World Tag Team Titles against Styles and his tag team partner, Dragon Lee. Pearce liked the idea and booked the match for next week’s October 20th edition of Raw. Mysterio wasn’t happy about it.

Since winning the World Tag Team Titles on June 30th, the team of Balor & McDonagh have only defended the titles once on television, which was on July 28th against the LWO.
Balor and McDonagh won the World Tag Team Titles from The New Day’s Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. Of course, when Kofi saw Pearce grant Styles and Lee a World Tag Team Title match, the former WWE Champion Kingston complained on social media about it.
Oh, so when AJ says it, Pearce just gives him a title match. Bald Head Tyrannical ass… https://t.co/tmTK2Sx6LY

The reason Kofi and his tag team partner, Xavier Woods, are so angry about it is that they have wanted a rematch for the World Tag Team Titles, but that hasn’t been granted to them.
