Adam Pearce to punish major SmackDown star on RAW? Exploring potential Survivor Series feud with Nick Aldis after brutal assault on WWE official
At WWE Crown Jewel, RAW GM Adam Pearce found himself on the wrong side of Randy Orton's wrath. Orton, who was scheduled to face Kevin Owens at the PLE in Saudi Arabia, brawled with The Prizefighter before the bell could begin. This brawl led to Orton RKOing Pearce, who was trying to stop them.
While Orton's RKO seemed cool at that moment, Adam Pearce won't keep quiet without enacting vengeance on the 14-time World Champion. On the upcoming episode of Monday Night RAW, Pearce could punish Orton, which could lead to SmackDown GM Nick Aldis getting angry at the RAW GM.
The reason Aldis could get angry is because while Randy Orton was in the wrong at Crown Jewel, dishing out any punishment to him should be the job of the SmackDown GM since Orton is a SmackDown star. Aldis' potential anger against Pearce could then lead to a feud between the two heading into Survivor Series.
While the angle is speculative, it makes sense because if Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis are indulged in a feud ahead of Survivor Series, it will create the perfect RAW vs. SmackDown rivalry for the Premium Live Event. It will be interesting to see what happens on RAW's upcoming episode.
A look at the other officials attacked by Randy Orton and Kevin Owens at WWE Crown Jewel
The rivalry between Randy Orton and Kevin Owens proved to be dangerous not only for the two men but also for anyone who got in their way. If you thought RAW GM Adam Pearce was the only one who was attacked during this brawl, you were completely wrong.
Another name who suffered a vicious attack during this brawl was referee Eddie Orengo, who was originally in the ring to officiate the match between Orton and Owens. When Orengo went to stop Owens from assaulting The Apex Predator, Owens hit a vicious stunner to silence the popular referee.
Further, Orton and Owens attacked two former WWE Superstars. The two names in question are Shawn Daivari and Jamie Noble, who are working with the Stamford-based promotion as producers.
While Daivari was attacked by Orton, Noble was taken out by Owens ringside. Overall, Randy Orton and Kevin Owens went wild at Crown Jewel. It will be interesting to see how the two superstars are made to compensate on the upcoming episodes of WWE RAW and SmackDown.
