Former RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff is currently backstage at the Ford Center - the site of tonight's RAW. There is also a photo of him on the main page at WWE.com. It should be noted that a commercial promoting tonight's edition of RAW said "Don't miss the first ten minutes of Raw" because a new head will be running the show. It seems incredibly likely that Bischoff will take part in an on camera role tonight on RAW, especially considering that WWE will be releasing his book "Controversy Creates Cash" next month. The timing is right as his presence would help promote the book.
Here is the official message regarding Bischoff from WWE.com:
Bischoff spotted at RAW

What is so surprising about Bischoff’s presence is that he hasn’t been involved with WWE since he was fired last December by Mr. McMahon. So why is Bischoff showing up now? Perhaps, it’s because the WWE Chairman and Shane McMahon are out of commission from the beating they suffered at Unforgiven; with no GM on RAW to take control while the McMahons recover, there’s an opening for someone to take over.
Is Bischoff trying to move back into WWE while the McMahons are recovering? If so, how does Jonathan Coachman feel about this? Coachman, who is currently Mr. McMahon's Executive Assistant, once worked for Bischoff during his tenure as General Manager.
So why is Bischoff in Oklahoma City? Hopefully this question will be answered on RAW tonight at 9/8 CT on the USA Network.
