Backstage News On Paul Heyman And Eric Bischoff’s Executive Roles

It had been previously reported that both Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff had been given Executive roles within WWE. Heyman is set to become the Executive Director of Raw, while Bischoff will serve in the same role on Smackdown Live.

According to the latest issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the official changes will be taking place around mid-July. Furthermore, these two will be actual, real-life decision makers and not television performers, who are playing the role.

Furthermore, according to a report from PWInsider, WWE and Heyman have been working on a deal to bring him into an executive role since February. In the meantime, he had been working on certain storylines and with certain talents, including Ronda Rousey, Brock Lesnar and Alexa Bliss.

He is expected to continue as an on-screen character as Brock Lesnar’s advocate.

The Bischoff deal came together within the last several weeks. He will be working directly with FOX, as WWE prepares to move Smackdown Live over there in the Fall.

WWE posted a video on the news earlier today:

Editor’s Opinion:

You would have to think that it will only be a matter of time before Bischoff is back on screen as well. This is going to be amazing for everyone involved.
