-- According to pwinsider.com, WWE has been pursuing Paul Heyman to officially join their executive team for months, likely as far back as February when they hired Bruce Prichard was brought back as a senior VP. WWE extended an offer to Heyman at that time but conversations were "slow in progressing." Meanwhile, Heyman was still heavily involved with WWE in the "inner circle" for a while as well as helping talent - Brock Lesnar, Ronda Rousey and Alexa Bliss are three names mentioned - with certain aspects of their performance. With the ongoing discussions, the two sides finally came to an official agreement this month.
-- The deal with Eric Bischoff came together in the last few weeks as WWE wants him working directly with FOX due to his past experiences with Turner Broadcasting, Spike and other networks in the past. Bischoff was booked for several personal appearances this summer but over the last week, quietly began cancelling them which is likely when he came to terms with WWE.
-- Both Heyman and Prichard will now sit atop the organization as it relates to Raw and Smackdown, respectively, and as indicated in the press release, they will report directly to Vince McMahon. Many are comparing their roles to that of Triple H with the NXT brand as the ones who will essentially be running it but of course, the final say will always be Vince's. At this time, Heyman is expected to continue in his on-camera role as Brock Lesnar's advocate while there is no information on if or when Bischoff will be on Smackdown.
