Backstage News On Bloodline Segments Amidst Michael Hayes' Absence

It was revealed earlier this week that both Bruce Prichard and Michael Hayes were on temporary leave from WWE. It was noted that Prichard’s absence was down to a family emergency whereas Hayes’ was due to personal issues. Hayes has played a big role in The Bloodline storyline over the past few years, producing both Roman Reigns’ matches and segments. 

Fightful Select have provided some insight into the goings on backstage due to Hayes’ current absence regarding The Bloodline’s matches and segments. It is noted that throughout 2024, Bobby Roode was listed as Hayes’ co-producer, with others shadowing them too. Roode’s work as a producer is reportedly highly regarded, which may explain why he works so closely to Hayes. 

When it comes to The Bloodline’s segments and matches, Jamie Noble has been the man behind producing them without Hayes present, but also prior to Hayes’ absence too, with Noble working on segments and matches over the last several months for The Bloodline. Noble produced the Crown Jewel Bloodline vs. Bloodline match and The Usos’ segment on RAW. Both he and Roode helped produce the Bad Blood Bloodline match too. It isn’t known when Hayes will return to WWE, but he is expected to make a comeback eventually.
