As we wait for The Rock to arrive and attack Rhodes or Reigns, WWE is teasing a shocking detour. Last week, on NXT, General Manager Ava was accidentally knocked down because of Eddy Thorpe. This week,

WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff appeared on WWE NXT, and the situation quickly broke down into chaos. After appearing in a video on the November 26 episode of WWE NXT, Bischoff came to the ring on 2.

Eric Bischoff and Sean “X-Pac” Waltman have both been announced for tonight’s NXT episode. While not much is known about X-Pac’s appearance, it’s been confirmed that Bischoff will be meeting with NXT Champion Trick Williams and Ridge Holland ahead of their title match this Saturday.

Eric Bischoff made his name creating a WCW product that was by design as different as possible from what WWE was producing in the mid-to-late ’90s. Led by the nWo, it produced a period of unprecedented success for the company as WCW beat WWE for 83 straight weeks in the ratings and forced WWE to usher in its Attitude Era during a game-changing time in the business.

Eric Bischoff knows The Bloodline is a great storyline success, but its impact on the pro wrestling business can’t compare to the nWo. Currently in WWE, the longest-running storyline involves The Bloodline.
