Two Big Names Reportedly On Temporary Leave From WWE

It looks like two key figures are currently absent from WWE as F4Wonline.com is reporting that longtime creative members Bruce Prichard and Michael Hayes are currently on temporary leave from WWE according to multiple sources in the company.

The timeframe for their leave is said to be indefinite, but both are expected to return at some point. It’s being said that Bruce Prichard’s absence is due to a family emergency, and Michael Hayes’ absence is due to personal issues.

Even though both Bruce Prichard and Michael Hayes are absent at the same time there’s no connection between the two absences. Those in WWE emphasized that this wasn’t a case of the old guard being moved out as both are expected to be back.

Bruce Prichard is a key figure in creative as he’s said to be above the writing team and directly under Triple H. Hayes has been working backstage as a producer and with WWE creative for decades now.

There was immediate speculation regarding Hayes’ status after James Gibson was listed as the producer for The Bloodline match at WWE Crown Jewel as Hayes is the regular agent for Roman Reigns matches. Michaels Hayes would often work with Paul Heyman who is heavily involved in all things related to Roman Reigns.
