World Xtreme Wrestling out of Allentown, Pennsylvania which is run by Afa The Wild Samoan issued a press release today announcing that WWE Vice President in charge of Talent Relations, John Lauranitis, will be at their training center next month to scout the center as a possible new development territory. World Wrestling Entertainment has been rumored for a few months now to be considering adding a new developmental territory to their developmental system and given their past history with Afa s promotion; it would seem to be a good match.

The ECW workers remain tight knit and continue to really want the new ECW to work.
