7 Best Ways WWE Can Utilise Rumoured Returning Stars
1. John Morrison
After leaving WWE in 2011 to explore wrestling beyond Vince McMahon's traveling circus, John Morrison found tremendous success as one of the founding fathers of Lucha Underground. A recognisable face whom management could believably put in main events, he rewarded their faith with performances that resembled the show-stealing ones that he had delivered just prior to his departure from WWE.
Since then, he has been one of the top stars for the critically-acclaimed product.
It is understandable, after watching his work with the California-based promotion, that Vince McMahon, Triple H and Company would want to reach out to Morrison (known in LU as Johnny Mundo) to gauge his interest in returning to the company in which he rose to prominence.
It remains to be seen if Morrison accepts the offer or if he even can thanks to a Lucha Underground contract that can best be described as oppressive. If he does make his way back to WWE, though, he must be the main event level star that he was never given the opportunity to during his original run.
Morrison no longer has anything to prove to management. He has spent the last five years stealing shows in the independents, Mexico and LU. He has evolved his game and is as good a wrestler as any of the free agents on this list. With stars for the top of Raw and SmackDown desperately needed, he makes as much sense as anyone.
It is his time to shine. Now it depends on whether or not he wants to and if WWE management can legally make it happen.
