Bruce Prichard and Michael Hayes on Temporary WWE Leave – Bruce Prichard and Michael Hayes, two longstanding WWE creative figures, are currently on temporary leave from the company. Dave Meltzer first reported the news today, with both men expected to return, though the exact timeline remains indefinite.
The reason behind Hayes’ absence is reportedly personal issues, while Prichard’s leave is due to a family emergency. WWE sources have clarified that there is no connection between the two taking time off, and this is not a case of the company moving out older talent. Both men are anticipated to come back once their respective issues are resolved.
Hayes has been a key figure in WWE since the 1990s, with roles ranging from interviewer and manager to producer and creative force. He has also played a significant part in the development of the current Bloodline storyline, often working closely with Paul Heyman on Roman Reigns’ segments.
Prichard, whose tenure with WWE dates back to 1987, has been another crucial part of the company, contributing to creative and production aspects in various capacities over the years. His absence has raised questions, especially after James Gibson took over as the producer for the Bloodline match at WWE Crown Jewel, prompting speculation about Hayes’ status as well. However, WWE has stressed that both Hayes and Prichard will be returning once they are able to.
