WWE
A major WWE name has returned to the company for tonight’s double taping of WWE SmackDown in Salt Lake City.
It was recently reported that both Bruce Prichard and Michael Hayes were on leave from WWE, with Jamie Noble and Bobby Roode subbing in for Hayes on Bloodline angles typically produced by Hayes.
Hayes and Prichard’s leaves were both reportedly for personal reasons, with both expected to return to the company after.
Now, one of the two has made their return to the company, as Fightful Select (Subscription required) is reporting that Michael Hayes is listed for a heavy number of producer assignments for tonight’s SmackDown double taping.
Hayes has immediately resumed working on the Bloodline storyline angles upon his return to the company.
The Bloodline Civil War is set to come to a head inside War Games at next weekend’s WWE Survivor Series event in Vancouver, with a fifth man set to be announced for both sides.
Bobby Roode has received a lot of praise in the company for his work in recent months as a producer and during Hayes’ absence.
