John Morrison reveals his new ring name following WWE release
John Morrison has yet another new name following his WWE departure.
Last night at AAA: Rey De Reyes in Veracruz, Mexico, former WWE Superstar John Morrison made his return to the ring. In the main event of the show, he challenged Hijo Del Vikingo for the AAA Mega Championship. Morrison is now going by the name "John Superstar".
Unfortunately, John Superstar was unsuccessful in capturing the AAA Mega Championship, as he lost the match after taking a reverse 450 splash from Vikingo.
John Hennigan is now John Superstar.
John Morrison has gone through many name changes
A name change is not uncommon for Morrison, who has gone through several during his professional wrestling career. The former Intercontinental Champion has gone by Johnny Blaze, Johnny Nitro, Johnny Mundo, and many other names.
It's unknown at this time if the current name change was a one-off for the event at AAA or if this will be his new name going forward outside of WWE.

There was recent speculation that Morrison could return to the company to team up with The Miz against Dominik and Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania. Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, however, has confirmed that's not the case.
Sapp went as far as to state that Morrison was never considered or discussed for the spot as The Miz's tag team partner at WrestleMania this year.
With John Superstar free and clear of his 90-day non-compete clause, there should be no shortage of interest from other companies when it comes to acquiring his services.
Will he be content just wrestling in AAA for now, or will he show up in another promotion sooner rather than later? We'll find out soon enough.
