Lita Contract Update, No SummerSlam At MSG, Chris Hero

Lita Contract Update, No SummerSlam At MSG, Chris Hero

Lita's WWE contract is scheduled to expire on December 1st. As of a week ago, the feeling was that she'd finish things up at Cyber Sunday or the night after on RAW, but it looks like she'll be staying at least a little while longer because she was just added to the U.K. tour that starts on Wednesday. Maria and Candice Michelle were pulled from the tour in favor of Lita vs. Mickie James title matches. Once her contract expires, Lita plans on concentrating on her punk rock band and doing some indy film work. The general feeling within WWE is that Lita will eventually sign with TNA due to the easier schedule.

Due to a dispute, the 2007 SummerSlam scheduled for 8/26 has pulled from Madison Square Garden. The event will now be taking place at the Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, NJ. WWE has not had good relations with MSG over the past few years due to the cost of running the venue.

Regarding rumors of WWE signing indy wrestler Chris Hero, some people in the company like him, but the odds are against him being signed.
