Adam Pearce accused of bias against WWE RAW Superstar

Monday Night RAW General Manager Adam Pearce has been accused of bias against a superstar. Pearce has been handling things on the red brand for quite some time and has done a solid job, but he has his critics.

Former Tag Team Champion and New Day member Xavier Woods hasn't been impressed by Pearce lately. He has accused the GM of not treating him and Kofi Kingston with respect and not giving them a rematch for the title.

Recently, he has been asking Pearce to ban Penta's Mexican Destroyer, to no avail. This week on RAW, Woods was at the receiving end of the move again as The New Day and Grayson Waller lost to the masked superstar and The War Raiders. Now, in a recent interview on the Battleground Podcast, Woods, while still in his on-screen character, accused Pearce of being biased towards him.

"Penta jumped off of Ivar's back and somehow attached his body to mine into an incredible Mexican Destroyer that has only injured my neck even more. So now I don't know where we even are in the recovery process at this point because Adam Pearce refuses, he absolutely refuses to ban this maneuver," he said.

Woods then mentioned that Pearce would ban the move if it happened to other stars like Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton.

"But he bans it when it happens to Cody. He bans it. It gets banned when it happens to Randy. But oh, but not me. Not the 21-year vet. Not the 15-year company guy. Not the guy who delivers every single time he's out there. We just don't care what happens to Woods," he added.

Xavier Woods has been asking Adam Pearce to ban the Mexican Destroyer

Ever since losing the World Tag Team Championship and not getting a rematch, The New Day has continued to criticize Adam Pearce.

Woods, in particular, has been vocal about alleged mistreatment from the RAW GM. He has been asking him to ban Penta's Mexican Destroyer for weeks in a series of posts on social media.

Woods has claimed that he has suffered a neck injury as a result of the move, and it continues to put him in danger. This is, of course, a part of his ongoing storyline, as he was seen competing in a match on RAW without any issues.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
