The wrestling world is a place of constant controversy. Here, people twist their words now and then according to their convenience. But WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff won’t get that chance as fans spotted his gibberish before he could say anything to justify his stand.
Bischoff isn’t a fan of CM Punk, and he doesn’t hide this at all. The WWE veteran never missed a single chance to malign the AEW champion during public interviews. His most recent ill comment came after Punk’s recent WWE Raw backstage visit. The 67-year-old vent out his utter disgust on the second city saint on his podcast 83 weeks. He went as far as labeling the AEW star a desperate little bi**h who can be ruthless to gain attention.

But his words came out hollow after he showed up at last night’s Raw episode to announce 4th round of WWE Draft picks. It came as a shocker to the fans as it contradicted his own words that he shot at Punk just days ago.
Bischoff and Punk’s real-life heat first came to light when the duo engaged in a social media post-war after Punk’s debut in AEW. The underlying tension between them has continued to make headlines ever since.
However, the heat mostly comes from Bischoff. One of the infamous notions that fans debunked is when the Hall of Famer said it’s his recent talks on Punk that keep him relevant. This stance got a firm rejection after Bischoff failed to prove the credibility of his words, making a surprise return to the Stamford-based company last night. Fans went into a frenzy and trolled him brutally afterward.
As soon as the news breaks out on social media, they voiced their opinions. Some of them joked that the Bischoff was actually ‘looking for Punk’ on the WWE stage. Most users referred to Bischoff’s own words to topple him out saying, ‘Didn’t he call punk a desperate little b**ch for going to wwe raw ☠️,’ ‘Desperate little b**ch’ for going to WWE Raw’ his words, not mine 🤷🏽♂️’.
No matter how much he tried to label Punk as an attention seeker, fans know who is the real pro. They commented, ‘Too bad it doesn’t mean anything lol, and re-conveyed ‘he’s desperate for attention’.

Fans also received the validation they needed to further put the WWE legend down when he made an error during his announcement.
Bischoff made a huge botch while announcing the draft picks
Eric Bischoff suffered the ignominy of making a colossal error while reading the draft picks on the WWE stage. He marked his return to WWE after several years alongside Rob Van Dam and mispronounced a star’s name. He seemingly called the 4-time champion Shayna Baszler as ‘Shayna Blazer’.
This was naturally a cherry on the cake for fans who criticized him and made the best use of it by throwing more sarcastic digs at the WWE veteran.
In the words of Eric Bischoff, “Shayna Blazer” is going to do great on Raw. #WWERaw #WWEDraft

However, apart from the glitch, the draft pick was pretty good. Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler both were on a roll before Rousey’s horror injury. Now it remains to be seen how they do after resuming action.
