Cena/Umaga, Lashley, ECW/SCI-FI Contract, & More
During WWE Monday Night RAW, Jonathan Coachman announced that the WWE New Year s Revolution main event will feature WWE Champion John Cena defending his Title against Umaga. WWE New Year's Revolution 2007 will take place on January 7, 2007 from the Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Missouri.
WWE Champion John Cena and Bobby Lashley were guests on yesterday s Your World with Neil Cavuto on Fox News. The superstars were promoting WWE s Tribute to the Troops in Iraq.
The contract for ECW on SciFi runs to December 2007.
WWE felt ECW running smaller venues for live events, while a "unique experience" for fans, was not going to help them in building the brand, and that is why they have decided to cancel the ECW events and instead pair up ECW and Smackdown, with the idea that ECW will have their own shows again down the road in larger venues.
