10 WWE Wrestlers That Bumped The Best For Braun Strowman

The best bit about a nothing Universal Championship match at Backlash 2020, John Morrison's enduring elasticity made for some funny visuals where action, comedy and drama were otherwise in short supply.

The Ruthless Aggression Era returnee looks no stranger to chicken salads with those abs, but his efforts to put over Braun Strowman's power here were mainly to try and make some more from the sh*t he'd been supplied. The feud - a clandestine grudge-out-of-nowhere between Miz, Morrison and 'The Monster Among Men' was criminally underthought to such an extent that it didn't even feel like a title match when the belt was on the line on a pay-per-view - Strowman looked more concerned with the state of his vandalised car than he ever did with the Dirt Sheet presenters. Their bumping for his assaults, as usual, were just about the only in-ring moments to grab on to.

The match didn't work, but the workers did. Morrison - as captured brilliantly in the above shot - in particular.
