Though it was expected that tonight’s SmackDown would be Eric Bischoff’s first show as the “Executive Director” of SmackDown, he reportedly has had “zero impact” on tonight’s show, according to Dave Meltzer.
Bischoff is not backstage at the show tonight in Worcester, MA, and was not involved in any of the creative meetings for the show, Meltzer added.
Paul Heyman has already been involved with several segments on Raw for the past three weeks, but Bischoff has reportedly not been involved in any shows yet, and hasn’t even been backstage at any SmackDowns.
Bischoff is being advertised for Monday’s Raw Reunion episode, so he’s scheduled to be on air for that show.
