Despite initial reports targeting July 16th as Eric Bischoff's official start date with WWE, the day came and went and the former WCW Executive Producer had no influence on the SmackDown Live show this week.

Dave Meltzer reports that Bischoff actually began with WWE on July 17th, the day after this week's SmackDown tapings. However, it remains unknown what kind of influence Bischoff might have on the SmackDown Live brand in the coming weeks.

Previous reports suggested the SummerSlam landscape could change drastically once Eric Bischoff settles into his new role on SmackDown, and that is certainly possible as only one SmackDown Live match is official for the PPV next month - Bayley vs Ember Moon for the WWE SmackDown Women's Title.
