Bruce Prichard is reportedly expected to step away from his full-time role in WWE following WrestleMania 43, bringing a potential end to his current run as one of the company’s key creative executives.
According to PWInsider, multiple sources within WWE have indicated that Prichard is expected to retire from his position as Executive Director of Creative Writing and Talent sometime after WrestleMania 43. Fightful has also reportedly confirmed the news.
Although Prichard is expected to leave his current position, the report indicates that he will remain connected to WWE in a consulting capacity.
Bruce Prichard Expected to Remain With WWE as a Consultant
Prichard returned to WWE in 2019 and has worked in a major creative role full-time since then, becoming a significant figure behind the scenes during the company’s latest era.
Under the reported plans, Prichard would no longer live in Stamford, Connecticut, and would no longer carry out his current executive responsibilities. However, his expected consulting arrangement would allow him to maintain a connection with the company after stepping away from his day-to-day duties.
The reported timeline places his departure after WrestleMania 43, meaning he is expected to remain in his current position through WWE’s next major WrestleMania cycle.
Neither WWE nor Prichard has been reported as making an official public announcement regarding the potential change.
Who Could Replace Bruce Prichard?
At this stage, there is no word on who might succeed Prichard in the role or how WWE could restructure its creative leadership following his departure.
Given his lengthy history with the company and his involvement in WWE’s creative process since returning in 2019, his eventual transition could mark a notable change behind the scenes.
For now, the reported plan is for Prichard to step away from his full-time executive position after WrestleMania 43 while continuing to work with WWE as a consultant. Further details about the timing and any potential changes to the company’s creative structure have yet to emerge.
