WWE Executive Director Bruce Prichard asked Bischoff to appear on the December 27, 2021, episode of RAW just four days before the show took place. The Hall of Famer agreed to the booking, but he did not know until the day of RAW that Prichard and Vince McMahon were absent.

Vince Russo thinks Rhea Ripley needs more help in WWE

Now, following Bischoff’s recent comments, Russo has serious doubts about Ripley’s main-roster situation:
