Backstage Batista-ECW News, Lita Leaving WWE?, More Notes

Batista didn't fraternize much backstage with the other ECW wrestlers on Tuesday.

Stacy Keibler has already left World Wrestling Entertainment, with strong rumors that Trish Stratus will be joining her through the exit door this fall. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, another Diva who is also likely to be parting ways with the company is Amy "Lita" Dumas. Her contract is set to expire in a couple of months, and there are no negotations at this point about renewing. It is widely expected that Dumas will end her long tenure with WWE after her contract expires, and pursue a career in acting. Lita was first seen on WWE television appearing as Essa Rios' valet.

There is no word right now when or even if ECW will be returning to the Hammerstein Ballroom for an ECW live event. Before last Tuesday's ECW on Sci Fi broadcast from Hammerstein, the last time ECW was there was for ECW One Night Stand in June. Given the reactions both times one would think WWE would want to bring ECW back there again.
