Adam Pearce Reflects On Emotional Return To San Diego For Survivor Series
As WWE prepares for Survivor Series at Petco Park, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce took a moment to share a heartfelt message about his deep personal connection to the host city. In a post on X, Pearce described San Diego as a place of significant “life milestones,” revealing that the city holds a special place in his heart beyond just professional wrestling.
“San Diego is very special to me,” Pearce wrote. “So many of my ‘life milestones’ happened here. Became a husband, a homeowner, a father here. Graduated college living here. My children’s first steps were here.”
A Full Circle Moment At Petco Park
Pearce’s connection to the venue itself runs deep. Before his current tenure as a WWE authority figure, Pearce reportedly auditioned to be the PA announcer for the San Diego Padres at Petco Park, finishing as a strong runner-up for the position. Now, returning to the stadium for one of WWE’s “Big Four” premium live events, Pearce noted the significance of the moment for his family.
“It was very bittersweet when I moved 11 years ago, and I’m so happy that #SurvivorSeries is in one of my favorite places: @PetcoPark,” Pearce shared. “Both of my kids were at games in the ballpark at two weeks old. Tomorrow will be special for me.”
Survivor Series takes place this Saturday, November 29, 2025, marking the first time the event has been held in a Major League Baseball stadium.
