Eric Bischoff Comments On His New WWE Role

Eric Bischoff took to social media to give his first comments on his new WWE role.

Earlier this week it was first reported and later announced via a press release that he would serve as the Executive Director of WWE SmackDown. He’ll be working directly with FOX executives when SmackDown Live goes on FOX when the show moves to Friday nights in October.

Bischoff went on his official Twitter account to comment about his new position with WWE. He wrote the following:

Equally humbled, honored, and more excited than I can possibly articulate here. Thank you so much for the overwhelming support. It’s been an amazing journey and the best is yet to come. @WWE #SDLive

Despite the fact that WWE sent out an email this week hyping that fans will see what Bischoff will ‘have in store’ for SmackDown Live this Tuesday, it was a mistake on WWE’s part as there was miscommunication due to WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon not signing off on the announcement.

The move to have the former WCW President in charge of SmackDown while Paul Heyman will serve as the Executive Director of WWE RAW is due to the decline of popularity that has impacted the company with television ratings and attendance.

It will be interesting to see the types of changes that both men bring to their brands going forward.
