Adam Pearce’s double cross
Roman Reigns came out to the ring with Paul Heyman and Jey Uso flanking him.
Adam Pearce followed them out to the ring with the contract in his hand and looking nervous as he took his seat.
Reigns slowly circled him and the table and told Heyman he doesn’t want the chair he was offering. He wanted Pearce’s.
Jey ushered Pearce out of his chair, and Pearce moved to the other one.
Heyman lectured Pearce that he’s not making for good television as he signed the contract and slid it toward Reigns to sign, which he did and handed the pen to Heyman.
Pearce took back the contract while Reigns smiled proudly. Pearce told him he’s been waiting all night for Reigns to do that, then stood and left the ring with the contract.
Reigns looks confused as Pearce headed up the ramp, and partway up he started to limp badly.
From the stage, Pearce said his knee keeps acting up and that it creeps up at the worst time.
He told them not to worry because all contract say the same thing about finding a suitable replacement.
He added that forteh Royal Rumble, he doesn’t think he’ll be medically cleared, so he found a suitable replacement.
Kevin Owens came out of the backstage area smiling ear to ear as he signed the contract.
This was a great way to end the night and correct the storyline from last week. Looks like the WWE still has some tricks up their sleeves.
