After McMahon defeated his daughter Stephanie in October 2003 at the No Mercy pay-per-view, the storyline was that she was forced to resign from her position as General Manager (GM) of "SmackDown!". Heyman returned to television to assume Stephanie McMahon's on-camera role as GM. On March 22, 2004, he appeared on "Raw" to take part in the annual WWE draft lottery. During the show he was drafted to "RAW" to work for "RAW" General Manager Eric Bischoff. Instead, he decided to "quit" rather than work for Bischoff, the man he cited for the death of ECW by raiding its talent. Heyman was replaced as "SmackDown!" General Manager by his former client Kurt Angle on March 25.
