Current WWE authority figure Adam Pearce claims he has "zero interest" in becoming a full-time wrestler ever again.

Pearce, who acts as a soft-GM on both Raw and SmackDown, told the PWI Podcast that he'll likely never step foot inside the ring for another series of matches. Why? Well, Adam is "having the time of [his] life" on WWE programming right now, and enjoys "clanging swords" with guys like Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman and Randy Orton in promo segments.

The WWE man reaffirmed his disinterest for actively wrestling again later in the pod by saying he actually has "less than zero" zest for lacing up a pair of boots; some might not know that Pearce is a five-time NWA World Champion and wrestled extensively from 1996-2014 before becoming a WWE trainer and producer.

Pearce also teased a match with Reigns at January's Royal Rumble before revealing that Kevin Owens would replace him in the Universal Title picture.

That ruse was as close as Adam will get to actually wrestling in 2021 and beyond. He described his current role as the "icing on the cake" for his career.
