WWE names Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff Executive Directors of Raw and SmackDown LIVE

Eric Bischoff And Paul Heyman Advertised For Next Week's WWE Shows (UPDATED)

 

The question of whether Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff's new WWE positions will include on-screen roles seems to have been answered in advertisements for next week's shows.

 

WWE's email blast promoting tickets to next week's Raw and SmackDown to local residents features Heyman and Bischoff on the banner for their respective programs. The text for both teases that you'll get to see what they have in store for their respective brands.

 

In case you missed it Heyman is the new Executive Director of Raw and Bischoff is the new Executive Director of SmackDown. Both will oversee the creative development of their shows and ensure integration across all platforms and lines of business.

 

As we previously reported, sources tell us the behind the scenes changeover won't be immediate and everything will still be run through Vince McMahon at this point.

 

Keep in mind, the Raw preview has yet to be published on WWE.com so plans could always change.

 

UPDATE: According to sources, the advertisements were not supposed to be sent out and SmackDown hasn't been finalized behind the scenes so a Bischoff appearance isn't guaranteed yet.

 

We're told communicational errors like this are an example of why Paul and Eric were brought on board, to stop things from falling through the cracks. Our sources say they'll soon be coordinating with all divisions to get everyone on the same page going forward.

 

It's unclear if Heyman will for sure appear on Raw.

If there is one thing I know about Vince is if there is a potential threat he'll rise to match. Hey may let Heyman and Bischoff do a significant number of what they want to counter AEW.

 

I could see Vince telling Bischoff for example do what you want but I need Roman to be over and cool. As bad as it may look it wouldn't be hard to get Roman over as a face.

Theyve been doing a pretty good with Roman tbh even though hes saddled with having to deal with Shane

 

Kinda shows how good Roman is and can be. I hate the feud but I like what hes done in the feud, if that makes any sense. I hope Bischoff or Heyman are able to kinda unleash the best version of Roman possible. Give him some good opponents to put on some bangers with and dont make him say or do anything that feels forced.

 

I want a Reigns/Almas feud soon.

The Shane Roman feud is one of the only good things that has been on Raw.

Legitimately the first time I've seen anyone write something positive about the angle.
