WWE executive Bruce Prichard to undergo neck surgery

Posted: Oct 14th 2026 By: Joseph Currier

WWE executive Bruce Prichard is set to undergo surgery for an injury he suffered more than three decades ago.

On the latest episode of 83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff, co-host Conrad Thompson fielded a question about Prichard’s status and revealed that Prichard will be having neck surgery. The issue has been affecting Prichard’s quality of life, so he needs to get it addressed.

“I don’t know that Bruce has revealed it, but Bruce has been dealing with a neck injury. It turns out that Bruce is going to have to have some surgery on that rascal, and he hadn’t been having the best quality of life recently,” Thompson, who once hosted a podcast with Prichard, said. “He’s on the mend, he’s doing rehab and all that jazz, but he’s hurting for certain.”

Thompson said Prichard actually first suffered the injury in the early 1990s during an angle where he (as Brother Love) was attacked by the Ultimate Warrior.

“He broke his neck, and he just found out just recently,” Thompson said about the angle. “All these years later.”

Bruce Prichard’s WWE role —

As one of the top names in WWE creative, Prichard works directly under Paul “Triple H” Levesque. He’s been back in WWE creative since 2019 and holds the title of Executive Director.

Prichard previously underwent triceps surgery in 2024 and a pair of shoulder surgeries in 2023 and 2022. He was on leave for a couple of months earlier this year due to back issues but returned in the summer.
