WWE Hall Of Famer Returns To Key Backstage Role After Hiatus

A Hall of Famer who has a major role behind the scenes in WWE was back at work this week.

Michael Hayes is a WWE Hall of Famer who was best known for being part of the Freebirds group. Hayes wrestled for many years as Michael PS Hayes before retiring in the early 1990s.

For the past 30 years, Hayes has worked behind-the-scenes in WWE as one of the major Producers in the company, which means he helps wrestlers put together matches and segments.
