WWE RAW General Manager Adam Pearce isn’t holding back when it comes to online scammers pretending to be WWE talent—and he’s had enough.
Taking to Instagram on September 30, Pearce posted a no-nonsense video addressing the growing trend of fake accounts asking fans for money under the guise of being WWE Superstars or staff. In classic Pearce fashion, he didn’t mince words as he tore into the fraudsters and warned fans to stay sharp.
“Well, it was going for a while, but holy hell is it back and forth for. So here we go. Ready? No one from WWE, not a single solitary soul, not a living, breathing human being employed by the company known as WWE, is asking you or anyone you know online for money. Not for gift cards, not for car notes, not for mortgage payments, not for Bitcoin. That’s a new one. Not for non-existent VIP cards. Not for a goddamn thing.”
He doubled down with a clear message to anyone falling for these fake accounts or shady messages from impersonators.
“If you or anyone you know is getting messages online from somebody purported to work for WWE and they cannot spel name that they are telling you they own, you are being lied to, bamboozled, hoodwinked and worked by an asshole. Or assholes, plural.”
And Pearce made sure fans knew exactly what to do if they’re ever approached online.
“Do not for any reason, under any circumstance, give anybody any money online for any reason ever. Use your noodle doodle. Holy hell. Pass the Tylenol.”
Scammers impersonating WWE names have been an issue for years, but Pearce’s blunt reminder is a wake-up call—especially for newer fans or those unfamiliar with how impersonation schemes work.
If you’re being asked for money by someone claiming to be from WWE, it’s fake. Period.
