Speaking on Something to Wrestle, Conrad Thompson provided an update on Bruce Prichard,

“I just want to address the elephant in the room. There’s been a lot of rumor and innuendo about Bruce Prichard. Just to clear it up, Bruce Prichard is still with WWE. Bruce Prichard is not quitting his podcast. But if you’re a longtime listener of this show, you know that there have been health events in the Prichard family and household, and right now, Brice is gonna take a little bit of a leave of absence from WWE, and he’s gonna be away, taking care of what’s really important," Thompson said.

Thompson then introduced WWE Hall of Famer JBL as the substitute co-host for the episode.
