As reported earlier, British wrestler Steve Lewington was offered a developmental deal with WWE and has accepted after working both WWE events in London last weekend. Lewington was the worker in the squash match against Umaga and took a pretty impressive bump against the steel steps.

As a result of accepting the developmental deal with WWE, Lewington will be forced to forfeit the British Heavyweight Title for the All Star Wrestling promotion, one of the bigger promotions in the UK. It should be noted that Lewington was already scheduled to return to Ohio Valley Wrestling this June anyways.
