Ringside News has learned that Bruce Prichard was not at SmackDown this week. He is the Executive Director of both Raw and SmackDown, so he’s usually in the building.

A tenured member of the team confirmed to us that Triple H was “on hand.” He appeared to have a “big influence” on the Rey Mysterio angle with Aalyah and Murphy as well as the Jey Uso vs Daniel Bryan match.

We previously reported how valuable triple H is backstage in WWE. He has stepped in before when needed. If you enjoyed either of those segments, then you can tell Triple H thank you.
