#1 Major return to WWE

Former Impact Wrestling World Champion Johnny Impact, better known as John Morrison in WWE, has re-signed with Vince McMahon's company as reported on WWE Backstage this week.

Morrison is a former Intercontinental and Tag Team Champion in WWE. He had left the company in 2011 and has since worked for Lucha Underground as well as Impact Wrestling.

Here is what Cagesideseats had to say:

That’s the word from Ryan Satin on WWE Backstage, at least, who notes Hennigan has signed a new deal with WWE. He’s ready to go now, apparently, but simply waiting for creative to come up with something for him.
