10 New WWE Directions After The 2020 Draft

7. John Morrison, Singles Star

Way back in November 2011, after years spent bubbling under the surface, John Morrison decided to bet on himself and leave WWE. It turned out to be a shrewd move, and the Shaman of Sexy spent the next nine years perfecting his craft all over the world, excelling as a major star in Impact, Lucha Underground, AAA and many other promotions. He was Johnny Mundo, Johnny Impact, sometimes even John Hennigan, but he was a star.

All of this led to a grand return to WWE in 2020. Would his near-decade of international stardom see him portrayed as a bigger deal in his second stint in the 'E? Could John Morrison finally scale that mountain and win a world championship in WWE? Or was he just going to slum it alongside The Miz, as if the previous decade hadn't happened?

The latter turned out to be the case, but the time has come for the team to split up once more. The clock is ticking on the immense talent that is John Morrison, and every month wasted alongside Miz is another indictment of WWE's creative team. Let the 2020 WWE Draft be the impetus that sees JoMo become the WWE singles star he always threatened to be.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
