Former WWE Raw General Manager and Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff is gearing up for an electrifying return to WWE programming. On the November 26 episode of WWE NXT, Bischoff appeared on the Titan Tron during a heated exchange between NXT Champion Trick Williams and his newly crowned challenger, Ridge Holland. His message was clear: chaos is coming to NXT.
During the broadcast, Bischoff expressed his admiration for the intensity brewing in the NXT Championship scene. He announced his intentions to appear live on the December 3 episode to oversee the escalating rivalry between Williams and Holland. “By the time I’m done,” Bischoff teased, “you’ll want to destroy each other at NXT Deadline.”
This marks Bischoff’s first WWE appearance since May 2022, and fans are eager to see how his legendary knack for stirring the pot will influence the NXT landscape. The confrontation between Williams and Holland set the stage for Bischoff’s involvement.
Holland, fresh off his victory over Andre Chase that earned him the No. 1 contender spot, interrupted Williams’ promo to declare his indifference to the consequences of his ambitions. As Williams warned that Holland’s potential title reign could spell the end of NXT, Bischoff stepped in via video to heighten the stakes.
What’s next for Bischoff?
In addition to his NXT appearance, Bischoff will also be taking on a "creative control" role for a one-off Major League Wrestling (MLW) event later in December. Known for his groundbreaking work in the wrestling industry, Bischoff’s return promises to be impactful. Notably, he will donate his earnings from the MLW event to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, a charity supporting military and first responders affected by the 9/11 attacks.
Bischoff’s return adds another layer of intrigue to an already intense championship storyline in NXT. With the countdown to NXT Deadline underway, fans can expect Bischoff to bring his signature unpredictability to the show. Wrestling icon Sean “X-Pac” Waltman has also been confirmed for the December 3 episode, setting the stage for a must-watch edition of WWE NXT.
