Just hours before the February 2, 2026 episode of Monday Night RAW, WWE General Manager Adam Pearce took to Facebook with a strong message against racism—following backlash he received after posting a photo with Bad Bunny. The Facebook post, shared earlier today, read:

“Unfortunately I have to say this again:
Racism is not tolerated here.
If your goal is to be a piece of shit and expose your ignorance, do it elsewhere.
Have a great Monday.”

Pearce’s statement came roughly two hours after he had posted a photo alongside Bad Bunny, celebrating the rapper’s Grammy success. The original caption praised Bunny’s historic achievements:

“Congratulations to my student with the most Grammy Awards! Can’t wait to see you make it in the Super Bowl, brother!
Love somebody today. ❤️🙏”

While many fans responded positively, Pearce’s follow-up post made it clear that he had been targeted by a wave of racist comments following his tribute. The situation unfolded the day after Bad Bunny made headlines with a powerful anti-ICE speech during his acceptance of Best Música Urbana Album at the 2026 Grammy Awards. Bunny told the crowd:

“Before I say thanks to God, I’m gonna say ‘ICE out’. We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens, we’re humans and we are Americans.”

Adam Pearce didn’t hold back, and he clearly isn’t here for anyone’s hate. What should’ve been a simple celebration of Bad Bunny’s Grammy win spiraled into something ugly, but Pearce shut it down in no uncertain terms. The message? If you’ve got racist energy, take it somewhere else—because it’s not welcome in WWE or anywhere near his timeline.
