The Royal Rumble is set to air live this weekend and fans are expecting to see a few surprises. Former WWE stars often make appearances in Royal Rumble matches and it’s been a while since we’ve seen John Morrison on WWE TV.
Morrison was released from his WWE contract in November of 2021, but during a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet the former Intercontinental Champion indicated that he would be open to a Royal Rumble appearance.
“That wouldn’t be the worst thing. Imagine how cool that would be for WWE. I have a ton of unfinished business. Unfinished business with my frenemy, The Miz, and a ton of people on the roster. In the business of professional wrestling, if you look at the rosters of Raw, SmackDown, NXT, Rampage, Dynamite, IMPACT, MLW, Ring of Honor, NWA, I have a personal history and issues with everybody. Not everybody, but a lot of people on every one of those rosters. It would be great to go back to WWE, it would be great to go to any one of those rosters because there is a ton of unfinished business, a ton of new matchups, and mostly because I like wrestling.”
While talking about his release Morrison explained why he wasn’t necessarily surprised when he added, “I feel like I had a good vibe in my head of where I stood. I didn’t think I was getting released, until the end when I realized I was trying to do a character that had been convoluted and tweaked and tweaked until it kind of became impossible, and then I started thinking, ‘I wouldn’t be surprised if I got released.’ Then, it happened.”
The WWE Royal Rumble premium live event will take place from the Alamodome in San Antonio, TX on Saturday, January 28. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
