Adam Pearce to blatantly steal WWE fan-favorite from Nick Aldis? Exploring hidden clue on RAW
The recent episode of WWE RAW concluded with several intriguing developments, including a major announcement from General Manager Adam Pearce. During the show, Pearce added Damian Priest to the World Heavyweight Championship match between Finn Balor and Gunther for Saturday Night's Main Event. This move indeed raised the stakes for the upcoming world title bout.
However, what caught fans’ attention was a subtle backstage moment involving Pearce and Tiffany Stratton. As Seth Rollins walked out for his segment, eagle-eyed viewers spotted Pearce conversing with Ms. Money in the Bank. This interaction is particularly intriguing given WWE’s recent transfer window announcement, which allows superstars to switch brands.
Currently, Tiffany Stratton is a SmackDown star, but her discussion with Pearce suggests he might be plotting to steal Tiffy Time to RAW. With her increasing popularity in the WWE Universe, moving Stratton to the red brand could strengthen the women’s division, especially before RAW's Netflix debut.
Also, if Stratton still has her MITB briefcase during the potential brand switch, she could cash in on Liv Morgan or whoever holds the Women’s World Championship at the time.
It will be interesting to see how this potential power move unfolds and whether Adam Pearce can outmaneuver Nick Aldis to secure one of SmackDown’s rising stars.
Nick Aldis could also be plotting to bring a massive RAW star to WWE SmackDown
It seems like Adam Pearce isn’t the only General Manager making strategic moves. On the latest episode of SmackDown, Nick Aldis was also spotted in a backstage conversation with Dominik Mysterio. This was similar to what we have seen between Pearce and Tiffany Stratton on RAW.
This subtle interaction suggests that the National Treasure is equally determined to keep the blue brand stacked, especially with RAW's highly anticipated Netflix debut on the horizon. Meanwhile, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes also appeared on RAW this week. However, a brand switch for The American Nightmare seems unlikely.
With major stars like CM Punk, Seth Rollins, and even Roman Reigns rumored to join RAW's roster, keeping Rhodes on SmackDown could help balance the star power across both brands.
Overall, the transfer window storyline opens endless possibilities for WWE superstars to switch brands soon. As these behind-the-scenes conversations unfold, the next few weeks will surely bring more twists and surprises in the Stamford-based promotion. This is especially due to the developing power struggle between the GMs.
