Report: WWE Talents Concerned By Bruce Prichard's Appointment As Interim Head Of Talent Relations

Amidst the fallout over misconduct allegations against Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis, the WWE Head of Talent Relations has been placed on administrative leave while the WWE Board investigates the allegations, with Bruce Prichard being appointed as his interim replacement.

Fightful Select have reported that the unanimous belief amongst people in WWE they spoke to is that Laurinaitis is "as good as gone", with several celebrating Johnny Ace being put on leave.

Bruce Prichard's appointment as Interim Head of Talent Relations has not been received as positively, though. Either a former or current WWE talent told Fightful they have received multiple texts from WWE wrestlers expressing their concern over Bruce Prichard being both Head of Talent Relations and Executive Director of Raw and SmackDown. The concern stems from talent having to ask for time off from the person who is the filter between creative and Vince McMahon.

Another individual, meanwhile, joked that Vince McMahon "only knows three people", making light of the power Johnny Ace and Bruce Prichard had found themselves with.

Even if Johnny Ace being put on administrative leave has affected Vince McMahon, the 76-year-old didn't show it as he was said to be in a good mood backstage at Monday Night Raw.
