WWE SmackDown: 3 big backstage rumors that could have a major impact on tonight's show (6th December)

#1 John Morrison to return on SmackDown?

Former Intercontinental Champion and Tag Team Champion, John Morrison has revealed that he has re-signed with WWE after eight years. The 'Guru of Greatness' was last seen inside the WWE ring in 2011 but has made a major name for himself in other promotions since he left WWE.

WWE has no plans for these former AEW wrestlers? Here's why!

Morrison, who went by the name Johnny Impact for Impact Wrestling, was able to capture the World Championship in the promotion.

With the company announcing on WWE Backstage that Morrison has returned to the promotion, it is highly possible that he makes his return on SmackDown tonight. With his former tag team partner The Miz already on SmackDown, fans would love to see the duo reunite.

The Miz had shared a photo of himself and Morrison holding the Tag Team Champions soon after the news of Morrison returning to WWE had broken. Could it be a hint towards a reunion?
