“Bruce Prichard’s plan is to work from home following a very serious surgery that he needs, Fightful Select has learned. PWInsider had reported that he plans to retire, but as things stand, it looks like he could remain with the company, in a more remote position when the time comes. Prichard has been running shows the last couple of weeks with Triple H on vacation.”
