Eric Bischoff believes it is highly unlikely that either Drew McIntyre or Roman Reigns will ever become the face of WWE. He claims that WWE's current business model will prevent them from doing so.
Eric Bischoff is a former Executive Producer and President of WCW. He served the company for 10 years from 1991 to 2001. Bischoff then moved to WWE where he served as the RAW General Manager during his first stint in 2002 and 2007, and as Executive Director of SmackDown in 2019. He is currently focusing on the 83 Weeks Podcast.
Speaking to Michael Morales Torres of Lucha Libre Online, Eric Bischoff revealed that he does not think either Roman Reigns or Drew McIntyre will ever become the face of WWE. However, he claims that it has nothing to do with the abilities of both wrestlers, but rather due to WWE's business model. A model that is designed to prevent any Superstar from becoming bigger than the company.

"It wouldn't surprise me that at some point, Vince McMahon made up his mind that he would never allow anyone talent to become so powerful that he or she would put WWE in a secondary position. I think that's one of the reasons why you see a lot of top talent. Drew McIntyre is a great example. Roman Reigns is another great example. Either one or both of them could be that talent that could be ‘the face of the company’ as people like to refer to as. Do I think either one of them will get there? I don't. Not because they don't have the ability, but because I don't think the business model for WWE wants it."
