Earlier we posted a photo taken at an airport in Chicago where CM Punk was seen picking up girlfriend WWE Diva AJ Lee. Here is another photo of the two getting rather romantic at the airport upon her arrival. Punk appears to be holding her while her legs are wrapped around him for a hug.
As we reported earlier, AJ Lee was given special permission to have the weekend off for this trip to see Punk Her scheduled matches at live events were replaced.
PWinsider sources say that CM Punk has gotten his official release from the WWE over the weekend with no conditions or stipulations. He is officially free to do what he wants. Vince McMahon was considered the last resort to try and save the relationship with the company but was unsuccessful. While this has not been officially confirmed PWinsider has multiple sources reporting this news.
There was talk going around at the weekend house shows that CM Punk was given his official release from WWE on Friday. We have not been able to confirm that and Punk is still shown on the Superstars page of WWE website. We did hear from a few people that spoke to him recently and he is telling them that he is “done”.
UPDATE: For what it’s worth and to report everything fairly ROH just leaked out that they are “in talks with a big name” wrestler according to some. Speculation is fine it’s our job, we are not confirming anything.
So this catchy entrance theme has become a favorite of ours lately. Our Monday work theme this week.
AJ Lee was given some time off from this weekend’s live events. AJ was spotted at a Chicago airport this weekend, being picked up by her boyfriend CM Punk.

All mention of CM Punk appearing at the Louisville Comic Con in late March have been removed from the Wizard World website. The appearance is still listed on WWE’s website. Comic Con officials was asked by a fan on Facebook this weekend if Punk is still appearing & they replied, “we are waiting to hear.”
Randy Orton is in deep trouble. The Authority’s faith in him seems to flip-flop every week, & The Viper hasn’t exactly risen to the challenge against his 5 Elimination Chamber opponents in singles competition. Orton is just 1-3 after hi upset loss to Cesaro on SmackDown & his final hurdle is against Sheamus tonight on RAW. The Apex Predator needs a win. Can he beat Sheamus?
The New Age Outlaws have been somewhat dismissive of the notion of The Usos as legitimate contenders to their WWE Tag Team Titles. The Usos defeated The New Age Outlaws in an 8-Man Tag Team Match on SmackDown. Will The Usos finally get their opportunity at the Titles?
Jack Swagger defeated Rey Mysterio, Kofi Kingston & Mark Henry on SmackDown to become the #1 contender to Big E’s Intercontinental Championship. The Elimination Chamber is setting up to be a game-changer for Zeb Colter & his crew. Can Swagger stay on the rebound from his recent misfortunes & keep The Real Americans running strong?
Looks like strongly worded reprimands aren’t going to do much for Daniel Bryan, who gave his old buddy Kane a stronger reprimand right to the face courtesy of a running knee last Monday on RAW. Will there be another confrontation between them tonight on RAW?
Alberto Del Rio got what he wanted – he will face Batista at Elimination Chamber – and he also may have gotten more than he bargained for, as a Batista Bomb through the announce table last week. Now that The Animal has zeroed in on Del Rio as his target, Del Rio has to start thinking strategy. Can Del Rio find a way to neutralize Batista before the Elimination Chamber?
Former TNA X-Division Champion TJ Perkins(Manik) noted on his Ask.FM account that he is returning to action for TNA on February 28th live event in Columbia, South Carolina. Manik has been absent from TNA TV since right after Bound For Glory last year.

I want to dedicate this post to my good friends and fellow DTRT Wrestling News contributors Trevor and Vanessa – who both have loved Lita and her abilities for many years.
When I think of the name Lita, one simple thing comes to mind – Professional Wrestler. Notice what I didn’t say. I didn’t say women’s wrestler; I didn’t say Diva, and I didn’t say sports entertainer.
Lita was just a flat out professional wrestler. Man or woman she could hold her own with anyone in the ring, and she epitomizes what Hall of Fame members should be – a total professional.
Check out this tribute that was posted here on our site:

And finally the WWE official announcement video here:
LITA TO BE INDUCTED INTO WWE HALL OF FAME
The 2014 Hall of Fame inductions have turned in to a huge winner for the WWE. As great as The Ultimate Warrior and Jake “The Snake” Roberts were, there couldn’t be a better choice than Lita.
I started off with what came to mind when I think of Lita, and I’m gonna finish with the other thing that comes to mind. Class act!
Celeste Bonin (formally known as Kaitlyn) recently revealed that she filmed a shoot interview with RF Video. No further details are available.
Here is the promotional poster that was uploaded to instagram to promote the live debut of NXT on the WWE Network February 27th.
