Report: WWE Pitched Lita For Special NXT Appearance At ECW Arena

One Big Thing

WWE reportedly made a pitch for Hall of Famer Lita to appear at next week’s NXT show from the historic ECW Arena in Philadelphia, potentially participating in a multi-woman tag team match.

Why It Matters

The potential appearance would add significant star power to NXT’s Philadelphia show while paying homage to ECW’s legacy. Lita’s own ECW history, where she performed as Miss Congeniality in 1999, adds an authentic connection to the venue.

By The Numbers

• Last WWE match: WrestleMania 39 (April 2023)
• ECW tenure: April-October 1999
• Former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion (with Becky Lynch)

The Details

Current ECW Alumni Confirmed

• Bubba Ray Dudley (aligned with Trick Williams)
• Dawn Marie (special appearance confirmed)

The Lita Factor

• Pitch involved an 8-10 woman tag team match
• Status of acceptance remains unclear
• Was recently spotted at ECW Arena (unrelated to WWE)

The Background

Lita’s last WWE appearance ended following a backstage attack angle by Trish Stratus, which kicked off the Stratus-Lynch feud. Her potential return would mark her first WWE appearance since that storyline conclusion.

What’s Next

NXT’s show at the ECW Arena is scheduled for next week, with more announcements expected in the coming days regarding the full card and potential special appearances.
