WWE Executive Director Bruce Prichard is taking a leave of absence.
The Wrestling Observer‘s Dave Meltzer previously reported that Prichard and Michael Hayes, both longtime members of the WWE creative team, were on temporary leave, but they were unrelated to each other. Meltzer noted that they were expected back, but the timeframe was unclear.
Conrad Thompson addressed the situation on the latest episode of his Something to Wrestle podcast with Prichard. He said that Prichard was still with WWE, and he was not quitting the podcast. Thompson stated that there had been “health events” in the Prichard family and household, so Bruce was taking a leave of absence from WWE to take care of what was “really important.”
WrestleZone sends our best regards to Bruce Prichard and his family. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
