WWE sent out two interesting emails yesterday that advertised the new executive directors of RAW and Smackdown on their respective brands already. Paul Heyman was advertised to be apart of RAW and Eric Bischoff was advertised on Smackdown in that email.
During Figure Four Daily, Bryan Alvarez explained the current situation. Employees in the company didn’t know about this email being issued and promoted everywhere until it was already in fans emails.
“I start texting and emailing people there and I’m like ‘what’s going on? Just 24 hours ago these guys were not gonna be TV characters.”
“The first couple of people that I text are also baffled and one of them notes there was a meeting last night that went to 4:23 am but it was only Raw. Nobody has even pitched anything for SmackDown yet. I was also told that last week because of the pay-per-view, Vince didn’t even look at the SmackDown script until he was on his way to SmackDown.”
Bischoff and Heyman weren’t expected to even have an on-air roll let alone having a role this early as the news broke earlier this week. Vince is now upset over it which is understandable but might force his hand in having both Heyman and Bischoff appear already.
Someone had to have told the graphics team to make those graphics with the executive directors on them. Someone else had to have sent them out as well.
Could this have just been a ploy to get attention back to WWE with AEW Fyter Fest happening tonight?
