Adam Pearce is a pro-wrestling veteran and a five-time NWA World Champion. It goes without saying that he knows what it means to hold the top title of a company. However, the path ahead of him isn’t an easy one in the least.

Roman Reigns is one of the most ruthless entities in all of WWE today. He never shies away from doing everything in his power to make sure that the Universal Title stays on his shoulder.

Pearce and Roman Reigns will lock horns at the 2021 Royal Rumble event. It’s almost a guarantee that being away from the ring for more than six years will prove to be a major disadvantage for Pearce at the event.
