In a bit of surprising news from WWE, Tom Prichard was let go from his role with the company in its developmental process today, this according to a report from Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com.

Prichard had been working as a trainer at WWE’s official developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling since its inception and replaced Bill DeMott, who is being tipped to take the role of the now departing Prichard, when DeMott was the head trainer for the now defunct Deep South Wrestling promotion, which was a developmental territory for the WWE.
