Pearce has appeared on-screen plenty of times in WWE. He was told by Vince McMahon to get Braun Strowman, Bray Wyatt, and Roman Reigns. This was to sign a contract to confirm their match, to being involved in the feud between Reigns and Kevin Owens.

Pearce was originally supposed to face Roman Reigns at Royal Rumble, but he was not “medically cleared” to compete, hence Owens took his spot in the match.

The Men’s Royal Rumble match headlined the pay-per-view, while the women’s match was the third match on the Royal Rumble main card. Bianca Belair emerged as the surprise winner of the Women’s Royal Rumble match after she eliminated Rhea Ripley. Ripley had eliminated seven Superstars in the match but couldn’t get the decisive and all-important final elimination.
