Bruce Prichard is about to make his WWE return after spending the last few months away. His absence left many wondering when one of WWE’s top backstage officials would be back. Now, a new report says that the return could happen very soon.
It also says Prichard has underwent a noticeable physical transformation during his time away.
Bruce Prichard expected to return to WWE after recovering from back issues
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Prichard is expected to return to WWE in the near future after being away since WrestleMania 42. The report stated that the longtime executive has recovered enough to return. Moreover, he has also lost some weight while recovering.
Prichard stepped away from WWE shortly after WrestleMania 42 because of ongoing back problems. WWE never announced his return timeline, but the latest report suggests he is now healthy enough to resume his role.
The report also stated that Prichard has reportedly lost “a lot of weight” during his time away, making his return even more noticeable. There is no word yet on whether he will jump straight back into his full schedule.
Since his job involves a busy workload, returning after recovering from a back injury and making major lifestyle changes is expected to be an important backstage development.
Prichard has been one of WWE’s most important backstage figures for many years. As Executive Director of Creative Writing and Talent, he has helped develop storylines, guide talent, and work closely with WWE management on the company’s creative direction.
During the late 1980s and early 1990s, he played the colorful Brother Love character, whose interview segments became a regular part of WWE programming. He was also the original manager of The Undertaker when the legendary superstar made his WWE debut.
It is still unclear how involved he will be right away, but having someone with his experience back on the creative team could have a significant impact on future WWE storylines.
