When news broke that Eric Bischoff had been hired as the new Executive Director of WWE SmackDown Live, it was widely assumed the announcement meant Bischoff is the new creative head of the blue brand, but that does not appear to be the case.

According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, people in WWE were recently clued into news details regarding Bischoff's role on SmackDown Live. "Right now those in creative were told that he will most likely not be involved with the creative process," wrote Dave Meltzer.

Considering the above, it appears as if Eric Bischoff will be less hands-on with the creative direction of his SmackDown Live brand than his counterpart, Paul Heyman, as it has been reported numerous times that Heyman will be more directly involved in the creative process on Monday Night Raw.
