For those wondering if Eric Bischoff was backstage at last night's SmackDown Live taping, he was not.

There had been rumors that Bischoff, now the Live Executive Director for the show would be beginning his duties following Extreme Rules, but he apparently did not have any input on last night's show and has not been part of any of the recent creative meetings.

Bischoff recently moved his family to Stamford in order to begin his new role.

We'll keep you updated on when he is expected to start on SmackDown Live.
