During a recent guest appearance on “The Ariel Helwani Show,” Eric Bischoff discussed the circumstances that led to his feature on this week’s episode of WWE NXT. Bischoff expressed,
“Both phone calls [WWE and MLW] were received concurrently. It’s rather ironic. A straightforward call really. I have another project that I’ll be involved in on Wednesday for Peacock. Given I was going to be in Orlando for that anyway, it was mentioned that there was a live show on Tuesday. The idea was to incorporate me into the NXT show. My impression is that this was more about streamlining processes and capitalizing on a good opportunity. It’s my first time being a part of NXT, which is a new experience not just for me, but also for the viewers.”
