3 reasons why John Morrison may join SmackDown

WWE announced the signing of John Morrison this week, as he has signed a multi-year deal. Upon the huge announcement, Morrison himself broke the news on social media as well. The return of Morrison has ignited great interest amongst fans, and it remains to be seen where Morrison ends up going.

Morrison began his wrestling career in WWE by winning Tough Enough in 2002. He was awarded a WWE contract, and he went on to make his main roster debut two years later. Staying for seven years in his first stint, Morrison won several titles in WWE. The high-flyer won the Intercontinental Title three times, ECW World Title once, and the Tag Team Titles five times with two different tag team partners. However, it is currently unclear whether Morrison will join the Blue Brand or the Red Brand.

In this article, we analyze three reasons why John Morrison may go to SmackDown.

#3 An opportunity to reunite with The Miz

Morrison is a five-time Tag Team Champion. While he won the twin belts thrice with Joey Mercury, he also won twice with The Miz, who is currently part of SmackDown. If Morrison gets drafted to SmackDown, he will get the opportunity to reunite with his former tag team partner, possibly forming a tag team on the Blue Brand.

The heel duo were foes earlier, but they cleared out differences to build a new tag team, which proved to be a huge success. Remaining a tag team for two years, they dominated the tag team division of SmackDown, winning the 'Tag Team of the Year' in 2008. They eventually split up after WrestleMania 25, as The Miz was drafted to RAW.

The Miz is currently playing a side role in the Universal Championship feud between Daniel Bryan and The Fiend. The A-Lister, however, hasn't been in a major feud since challenging Shinsuke Nakamura at Clash of Champions. Either Morrison could join SmackDown as a heel, attacking The Miz, or he could reunite with The Miz forming a new tag team on the Blue Brand.
