Report: Lita No Longer With WWE After Pre-Show Change Up; Jerry Lawler’s WWE Status

WWE Hall of Famer Lita is reportedly no longer with World Wrestling Entertainment. This is according to a recent tweet from Jim Ross.

Apparently I received erroneous info re: @WWE HOFer @AmyDumas still being with @WWE. According to Amy, she's no longer with the company.

Lita originally returned to WWE in October of 2015 to be a part of the creative team. In recent months WWE stopped Lita’s work on the creative team and instead had her play an on-screen role as one of the pre-show hosts for Raw and WWE pay-per-views.

The pre-shows were typically 30 minutes long and featured Lita and Jerry Lawler on a regular basis. However, starting with this week’s Raw, WWE made an adjustment to their pre-shows. They are now ten minutes long and do not feature Lita or Jerry Lawler. While Lita is reportedly no longer with WWE, Lawler still has a Legends deal with the company.

411 Wrestling obtained this statement from WWE on Lawler’s current status.

“Jerry Lawler has a Legends agreement with WWE, however, he will no longer regularly appear on our pre-shows. He will continue to host special events, including WWE’s annual Hall of Fame celebration at WrestleMania.”

Lawler is 67 years old, so it’s no surprise that WWE is phasing him out due to his age.
