Unfortunate update on WWE legend after recent rumors following him taking a leave of absence 

A WWE legend has been the center of certain rumors over the last few weeks. There was talk that the veteran was no longer with the company, among other reports, after he had taken time off.

However, PWInsider stated that the rumor was not true and had been denied to them and that Bruce Prichard was still with the company.

Now, a further development has cleared up the situation with Prichard. Conrad Thompson has commented on what's going on with the legend. Thompson has been working with Prichard for his podcast.

Thompson confirmed that the veteran is still with the company and has not quit the podcast. However, he has had health issues in his family and household. As a result, he is taking a leave of absence and will be away to deal with these health issues.

"I just want to address the elephant in the room. Bruce Prichard is still with WWE. Bruce Prichard is not quitting his podcast. There have been health events in the Prichard family and household, and right now, Bruce is going to take a little bit of a leave of absence from WWE, and he’s going to be away, taking care of what’s really important," he said.

We at Sportskeeda send our best wishes to Bruce Prichard's family.
