At WWE WrestleMania 42 Night Two this past Sunday, a man named Adam Weitsman appeared at the commentary desk during the Women's Championship Match between Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill. Sitting alongside Michael Cole and Wade Barrett, Weitsman wore a headset but did not speak during the match. Although his name was displayed on screen, no explanation for his presence was provided. While he was introduced at the table, he did not participate in commentary or have any direct involvement in the match itself.
According to Awful Announcing, Weitsman is the owner of a scrap metal processing company based in New York and has expanded into other ventures over time. He is currently the CEO of the cryptocurrency company Viridium. Alongside his wife, Weitsman has also invested in real estate and owns a restaurant. Additionally, he is known for his support of college sports, particularly Syracuse basketball.
The report noted that Weitsman has made significant contributions to the NIL program and has connections to well-known figures such as Tom Brady, Julian Edelman, and Jimmy Fallon. His background includes a legal issue from earlier in his life; in 2004, Weitsman served eight months in prison following a check fraud case.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer mentioned that Weitsman likely paid a substantial amount of money for the opportunity to sit at the desk, similar to those fans who paid to have their names on the mat.
#wrestlemania has a guest commentator.
Adam Weitsman, who previously was an NIL contributor for Syracuse before shifting to Siena, is somehow sitting in with Michael Cole and Wade Barrett.
