Eric Bischoff Discusses How WWE His NXT Appearance Came Together

Eric Bischoff appeared on today’s The Ariel Helwani Show to discuss a wide range of topics.

During it, he spoke (per Fightful) about appearing on this week’s episode of WWE NXT to be face-to-face with Ridge Holland and Trick Williams ahead of their NXT Deadline match on Saturday night.

“Both phone calls [WWE and MLW] came in around the same time. It was ironic. Just a simple call. There is another project that I’ll be working on Wednesday for Peacock. Because I’m going to be there anyway, in Orlando working on that, ‘oh by the way, there is a live show on Tuesday. Let’s get him in here and make him a part of the NXT show.’ I think that’s the reason is came together. Efficiency, more than anything, and a good opportunity. I’ve never been part of NXT, so this is a first for me and the audience,” he said.
