Eric Bischoff On Vince McMahon’s Next Move Following WWE Return

WWE

Eric Bischoff has shared his honest thoughts on Vince McMahon’s WWE return, sharing his predictions for the company’s future.

Vince initially announced his retirement in July 2022, amid an investigation into ‘hush pact’ allegations.

Filling his roles, Stephanie McMahon and Nick Khan became co-CEOs of WWE, and Triple H took over creative as the company’s Chief Content Officer.

Vince is now back on the board of directors as the company prepares for a potential sale.

On 83 Weeks, Bischoff noted that he doesn’t expect McMahon to take over creative.

Commenting on the situation, Bischoff said:

“I just can’t imagine that Vince’s primary focus right now is to jump back in the creative saddle.

“I mean there’s a ton on his plate, of a magnitude that I just don’t think even Vince McMahon, who notoriously works 20 hours a day, I think that would be a little bit much.

“I think Vince is gonna be focused on stability, particularly outward-facing stability, which is why I think he went to great lengths to acknowledge Nick Khan and Stephanie and Paul Levesque in their roles and assure everybody, he did three times in one press release, or maybe in different comments, whatever, there were three different occasions that Vince made a point to say, ‘Hey, Paul and Nick and Stephanie are doing a great job. All the confidence in the world in them. Nothing is going to change.’

“If that’s true, I think showing up at TV would be, even just from perception-wise, even if he just showed up and hung around backstage, it wouldn’t add to the stability of the situation right now.

“Couple weeks, maybe, once things settle down. But right now, I can’t see it.”
