Breaking Report - Bruce Prichard To Retire From WWE
Mike Johnson of PWInsider says Prichard will remain a consultant, and no successor has been identified for WWE’s creative leadership role.
- According to PWInsider, Bruce Prichard, WWE Executive Director of Creative Writing & Talent, is expected to retire from his full-time role following WrestleMania 43 next year, transitioning to a consulting capacity with the company.
- Prichard, 63, has maintained a decades-long relationship with WWE dating to 1987, when he started as an announcer before creating his Brother Love character, and returned to full-time creative work in 2019 under Vince McMahon and later Paul Triple H Levesque.
- During the 1990s, Prichard became recognizable through his on-screen Brother Love character, though his primary focus remained behind the scenes; after leaving WWE in 2008, he co-created the podcast 'Something to Wrestle With' with Conrad Thompson, which WWE Network later produced.
- WWE has not yet identified a successor for Prichard's position overseeing creative teams across Raw, SmackDown and NXT, though the company has time before WrestleMania 43 to finalize its plans, with sources noting circumstances could change given industry practices.
- Prichard's career reflects a pattern of departures and returns; he previously left in 1991 and 2008, working for Impact Wrestling and MLW before rejoining WWE in 2019, and the consulting arrangement positions him to maintain creative connections even after stepping back from executive responsibilities.
