WWE executive talks about potential RAW vs. SmackDown rivalry

WWE executive Adam Pearce recently talked about the newly-appointed SmackDown General Manager, Nick Aldis.

During the season premiere of WWE SmackDown, Triple H announced Aldis as the new General Manager of the show. This meant that Adam Pearce's role was now limited to being Monday Night RAW's top official.

During a recent appearance on WWE's The Bump, Adam Pearce was asked about Aldis. He said that it was great to have a reference on the other show and was excited about the potential rivalry between the two brands to become the number-one show.

"Now I'm not competing with myself anymore. I have somebody else to look at. We can play that chess game; we can see who in fact will make their broadcast the No. 1 sports entertainment broadcast on the planet. I'm betting on me, and I've got a headstart." [H/T Wrestling Inc]

With Survivor Series coming up, it will be interesting to see if we get a showdown between the two rosters anytime soon.

I’m so grateful that he’s finally gotten an opportunity, I know he’s going to kill it," James said.
