AEW has brought back a former WWE star with the belief that he has become All Elite.
On Wednesday night, after a live Dynamite during the Rampage tapings that will air this Friday night, John Hennigan, also known as Johnny Elite and John Morrision, appeared in a segment with QT Marshall that featured The Acclaimed. You can check out the spoilers for the show here.
Last May, he made his AEW debut on an episode of Dynamite when he was revealed as one of the jokers in the Owen Hart Cup tournament. He lost to Samoa Joe in the match.
Morrison was let go by WWE in November 2021, along with several other stars, ending his second run with WWE. In between his WWE stints, he worked all over the world, including Impact, AAA, Lucha Underground, and several other places. Since his WWE release, he’s wrestled for AAA as well as Game Changer Wrestling (GCW).
