星期天上面的PPV Vengeance，原定参加ECW世界冠军争夺战，并且有可能夺得冠军的Chris Benoit赛前突然被WWE宣布由于个人原因缺席，顶替他的Johnny Nitro获得了ECW的冠军腰带。
6月25日早上，各大摔跤网站从WWE.com得到了一个惊人的消息：
BENOIT FOUND DEAD
WWE is sad to report that Chris Benoit and his family have been found dead in their home. Police are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the deaths. Tonight's Raw will be a tribute to Chris and his family.
WWE很伤心的宣布Chris Benoit和他的家人被发现死在他们的家里。调查组目前正在研究死因。今晚上的Raw将会是纪念Chris Benoit和他的家人。
就目前的消息来看，这不太可能是剧情。虽然原因仍在调查中，但是Chris Benoit很不幸的重复了他的老朋友Eddie Guerrero，在将要夺冠的前夕突然不幸的去世。
有消息透露Benoit实际上在周日晚上就已经去世，但是WWE没有公布消息。目前一切都还在推测。

P。S：太伤心了，班瓦在WWE算是不可多得的技术全面型选手，虽然身处WWE，可是其非常精通格斗技，似乎还曾经被美国海军陆战队聘请为格斗指导，和KEN一样，绝对是真功夫！
真是太可惜了，愿他在天堂安息……
永远的金刚狼……
