Backstage Note On Tonight's WWE SmackDown

We've noted how this week's WWE RAW episode had the "fingerprints" of new Executive Director Paul Heyman all over it, but Heyman did not run the entire show and the pre-RAW production meeting still featured Vince McMahon and lead RAW writer Ed Koskey as the main ones planning the show, not Heyman.

John Pollock reports that tonight's SmackDown is expected to run off a similar scenario, with Vince and Ryan Ward as the main ones planning the show. New blue brand Executive Director Eric Bischoff is expected to be at the show, but his first official episode is believed to be the post-Extreme Rules show on July 16. There's no word yet on if Bischoff will have any influence over tonight's SmackDown as Heyman did with RAW.
