WWE has gone through a bit of a shake up behind the scenes recently as it’s been reported that both Bruce Prichard and Michael Hayes are currently on leave. With Prichard and Hayes currently taking time off it seems that other names are stepping up in their absence.
PWInsider is reporting that Bobby Roode was at WWE headquarters last week. It was noted that he’s been getting tons of praise for his role as he’s been filling in for Michael Hayes working as a producer on a number of top main events.
Michael Hayes has been taking time off due to a personal situation which is said to be medical in nature. However, the expectation is that Michael Hayes will be making his return to WWE sooner than later.
Bobby Roode last wrestled in June of 2022 when he faced off against Omos at a WWE live event. He went on to undergo neck fusion surgery and even though he is cleared he’s indicated that a return to the ring is unlikely as he’s happy working in his role as a producer.
