Bruce Prichard has been a key part of WWE’s creative process for a long time now, and has been working as Executive Director of Creative Writing and Talent. Basically, he works under Triple H but he helps run the day-to-day operations for the company. He’s influential enough that Ronda Rousey once alleged Vince McMahon was running creative through him after he first stepped down from power due to Janel Grant’s sex trafficking lawsuit against him and WWE in early 2024.
Now, it seems, his time with
the company is drawing to a close soon enough.
That’s the word from PW Insider, who have published a report claiming multiple sources informed them Prichard will be retiring from his current role following WrestleMania 43 next year in Saudi Arabia. They are quick to caution this is pro wrestling and it may not stick, at least as far as the timeline is concerned. He’s also expected to stick around to do some consulting.
He just won’t have to make his home in Stamford anymore.
Prichard worked for WWE for many years a longtime lieutenant of McMahon back in the 1990s, left in 2008, then returned full time in creative in 2019. Insider notes the belief is all three writing teams fall under Prichard as of right now, and there is no word on who might replace him.
Change is coming.
Is that a good thing to you?
