While it appears as if Eric Bischoff will be less responsible for the creative side of things on the SmackDown Live brand, it looks like his role will be more of an interfacing job with both WWE and FOX.

"It looks like his job will be to interface with all of the departments in the company as well as with FOX," explained Dave Meltzer.

Despite the above, it's worth noting that Eric Bischoff will still very much be the leader of SmackDown Live, so it is possible Bischoff could make changes down the line to how the show runs from a creative standpoint.

One of the main reasons why WWE hired Eric Bischoff to his new role in the company is because of what officials feel to be Bischoff's "proven track record" of dealing with network executives during his time in WCW.
