Adam Pearce discusses what it means to be an authority figure on WWE television
Adam Pearce has been playing the role of a WWE authority figure since 2020. He appeared on both brands before being announced as RAW General Manager in 2023.
Speaking on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, Pearce opened up about the role of an authority figure in WWE. He pointed out that a General Manager only plays a supporting character, as the superstars are always the focal points.
"This position [of a General manager], okay, it's a supporting character on a television show that, by definition, isn't there to overshadow or step on the superstars. They are the beacons that we want the eyes focused on. But the General Manager or the WWE official that I played for years before that, that's an informational conduit to what you just said, to make sure that everybody understands the context to what is happening with these larger-than-life characters that are on their screens every Monday and every Friday. And sometimes they're the focus of the direction of the story, [and] sometimes the GM is there to change the direction of the story but the story is always about the superstar," he said.

It remains to be seen if the two former NWA World Heavyweight Champions will compete inside a WWE ring anytime in the near future.
