Current Events

Former TNA professional wrestler Chris Harris has officially signed with World Wrestling Entertainment as confirmed by himself in his personal website.
Ron Killings and The Big Show are still being reported as to having signed WWE contracts.

There is also apparently an audio interview with Killings where he states he will be returning to WWE with his old K-Kwik gimmick.
Bobby Lashley is being reported to have been released by WWE. His profile has been removed from WWE.com. But again, there is no reliable source for his release, so be prepared to revert his removal from the roster article and edits to his own article.

Collaboration of the Week

The monthly featured article collaboration for February 3 through February 16 is Shawn Michaels. Please help to improve it to match the quality of an ideal Wikipedia professional wrestling related article. The next article for collaboration will be chosen on Sunday, February 17.
