UPDATE ON BETH PHEONIX'S RETURN

Beth Phoenix told the Tampa Tribune newspaper that she is planning to return from a major knee injury in two months.
In May, Phoenix tore her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) during a match. Phoenix dropped the Smackdown brand’s Women’s Title and was written off TV.
Phoenix is scheduled to be in Los Angeles during Summerslam weekend as part of the “Summerslam Axxess” sessions. She will also be joining fellow injured WWE wrestler Ezekiel Jackson for a live chat with Joey Styles on WWE’s website before the Summerslam PPV on Sunday.
The Tampa Tribune profiled Phoenix due to her upcoming appearances for WWE’s developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling.
Phoenix is scheduled to appear at FCW shows on Wednesday, August 18 in Orlando and Friday, Aug. 20 in Plant City.

Among those in attendance at Friday night’s WWE SummerSlam Kickoff Party in Hollywood, California was former WWE ring announcer Lilian Garcia.
She noted on Twitter earlier this week that she would be attending the VIP event to make up for missing tomorrow night’s SummerSlam and Monday’s Raw due to previously scheduled arrangements in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

MORE ON LANCE CADE'S DEATH

WWE confirmed Friday the death of former performer Lance McNaught (a/k/a Lance Cade). His father, Harley McNaught, told WWE officials that his son — who had spoken publicly about his battles with pain killers and sleeping pills addictions — died of apparent heart failure.
He was 29 years old.
Regarding details of McNaught’s passing, his wife Tanya noticed earlier in the week that he didn’t look healthy and appeared to have trouble breathing. She called an ambulance Tuesday night and he was rushed to an area hospital.
McNaught passed out while at the hospital, but was later revived. He asked to be released Wednesday.
McNaught’s father said Lance showed up to his work Thursday and did not appear well. Harley took him to his San Antonio home and was discovered having passed away Friday morning. He was scheduled to leave that day for a two-week tour of All Japan Pro Wrestling.
McNaught’s wife believes he had not been drinking.
McNaught was under contract to WWE from March 2003 to October 2008. He returned to the organization’s developmental promotion, Florida Championship Wrestling, in September 2009, and was released in April 2010 following a stint in rehab.
McNaught leaves behind two daughters and a stepson.
