As previously noted, Bischoff will be dealing directly with the Fox network and he will be the Executive Director of SmackDown Live. Their official titles, according to the report, will be executive director with both reporting directly to WWE chairman and CEO Vince McMahon.
Here is Rusev's response to the news.
The weekly shows now air on USA Network, though "SmackDown" is moving to Fox's broadcast channel - and from Tuesdays to Fridays - this October.
In an announcement on WWE.com, the company revealed: "In their executive roles, Heyman and Bischoff will oversee the creative development of WWE's flagship programming and ensure integration across all platforms and lines of business". But Heyman's greatest success as a promoter came as the president of ECW from 1993 to 2001, when the revolutionary mom-and-pop promotion served as both a rival and quiet partner to WWE during the Attitude Era.

The switch scuffed three minutes later, as Kenneth Omeruo nodded the three-time African kings in front from a corner. Peter Etebo then stung the fingers of Kone from a free-kick that the goalkeeper parried and a defender cleared.

For Heyman, it will be his first return to a full-time creative leadership role in the WWE since his controversial departure from WWE-ECW and his first stint running the flagship show, RAW.
Below are Heyman's and Bischoff's WWE bios.
While best known for his on-air persona, Heyman is credited for developing many current and former WWE Superstars as part of its creative team. For 83 weeks - from June 1996 to April 2018 - Bischoff would shepherd WCW's flagship show, Monday Night Nitro and defeat Monday Night RAW in the ratings. He is a must-see attraction as an on-screen performer as the advocate for Brock Lesnar, but Heyman's longest-lasting work happens off-camera with the character development of many on the WWE roster. Instead, they'll be eased into it over time and get them ready for having full creative control.
The first reaction was a longtime WWE wrestler wondering aloud why Triple H wasn't set for one of the roles, and another saying that was some of the immediate chatter that they had heard.
