#4: Real reason for Bischoff and Heyman's return

The company has big plans for Bischoff and Heyman.

In 2019, the WWE has undergone some major changes, with the recent introduction of Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff as Executive Directors of RAW and SmackDown Live respectively being one of the biggest.

Whilst both men are ultimately answering to company Chairman Vince McMahon, the new role allows the former promoters a lot of creative control on WWE TV, which the company is hoping will turn around their slumping ratings.

According to the Wrestling Observer this week, bringing in the pair was more a business decision than a creative one, as WWE wanted to prove they were doing something to change for the better. The report said the following:

"WWE wanted to show stockholders that they were making significant structural changes to offset questions about the popularity declines"

What these changes mean in the long run remain to be seen, though it seems WWE's content has improved in the past few weeks.
