Bischoff Not Working SmackDown Live Creative?
New Executive Director Eric Bischoff is reportedly not involved in the creative side of SmackDown Live. While Paul Heyman has a hand in creative on Raw, Bischoff won’t have the same role on SmackDown Live. According to Wrestling Observer Radio (h/t RingsideNews), Bischoff has different responsibilities. He will be focusing on WWE’s relationship with Fox and interfacing the two brands.
Fans have been excited for Bischoff’s creative input. It looks like now instead Bischoff’s input will be more on the branding side than in the ring.
