    AdminBy No Comments3 Mins Read0 Views


    A top WWE name is reportedly set for a return to the company. This year quite a few stars have missed time due to injury, and some of them have made their comeback already.

    Now, it has emerged that a longtime member of WWE’s creative team, Bruce Prichard, is set to return backstage after his absence. Prichard has been away from the company since WrestleMania 42 but will be back soon.

    According to a report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (WON), the veteran is set to return after being absent due to back issues. Dave Meltzer mentioned that he is expected to resume his role backstage and noted that he has “dropped a lot of weight.”

    No specific details regarding his back issues were mentioned, and neither the exact date of his return was brought up with the promotion set to build towards SummerSlam after this weekend.

    Prichard serves as Executive Director of WWE’s creative writing team and oversees the creative direction and production for both RAW and SmackDown.

    He has been one of the most influential backstage figures for decades and was often regarded as Vince McMahon’s right-hand man. He continues to be a key part of the creative team under Triple H.

    Fans also fondly remember him as “Brother Love” on WWE TV, and he is also remembered for being The Undertaker’s manager during his debut in 1990.

    Bruce Prichard responded to bullying claims in WWE

    With a huge role in WWE’s creative team, Bruce Prichard was featured heavily in Netflix docuseries WWE: Unreal. But he came under fire after an episode that highlighted RAW’s Netflix debut.

    A clip from the episode showed him being unhappy with producer Chris Park, aka Abyss, backstage during the broadcast. Prichard appeared to be annoyed with the fact that the show had gone over the time limit, telling Park that the main event match between CM Punk and Seth Rollins was “overproduced.”

    Park apologized to Prichard, but fans criticized the veteran’s behavior, labeling him a bully. Speaking on his Something to Wrestle With podcast, he addressed these allegations.

    Prichard said that if the show doesn’t go off on time, the responsibility falls with him. He said that Park is a wonderful human being and extremely talented but said sometimes it is important to communicate certain things on time, given the nature of the industry.
