10 Ways WWE Has Changed Since John Morrison Left
7. NXT On USA
The last time John Morrison was tasked with getting somebody over on NXT, Eli Cottonwood cut a promo so atrociously awful that it found new ways of bringing into focus just how appalling the process was for getting young wrestlers over.
His regrettable refrain about moustache looks a long way from the "developmental" brand Triple H has gradually shaped into being USA Network ready. The show may be in such a prominent position as part of an effort from WWE to topple All Elite Wrestling's new show Dynamite from the very beginning, but the point is that it's there, and the group need a roster of established stars and potential breakouts to meet AEW's heady mix at the pass.
'JoMo' is that guy if WWE want him to be - his work has enough flash for him to still hang with the innovative generations that have emerged in his absence, whilst his legacy supplies some sustenance in feuds he'll be booked to lose. At 39-years-old, he may not yet be all that keen on giving back quite as liberally, but cards played well in Full Sail can lead to a great life inside the Performance Center - this is the time and place for him to make the best possible impression.
