#4 John Morrison's return ends in disaster

John Morrison has returned and seemingly had an instant impact. He praised The Miz for being one of the most underappreciated superstars on the roster and after 10 years, they have rekindled their alliance. Morrison, as you know, will be getting back inside a WWE ring after nearly 9 years to take on Big E.

Last week, Kofi Kingston faced The Miz and while the former WWE Champion was closing in on a victory, Morrison's interjection at ringside and attack on Big E resulted in The Miz getting the win via a distraction. This led to WWE booking Morrison against Big E and the multi-time tag team champion will be welcoming him back to the ring after years.

While Morrison winning would be a fair and understandable decision, WWE could take the alternate route and have him lose. It doesn't have to be by a clean finish or any such thing, but the chaos at ringside could, unfortunately, lead to his big in-ring return ending disastrously. It would do a lot more for the storyline between the four men and it could progress better.

Moreover, it sets up an interesting spot for the Royal Rumble that doesn't even have to be about any of them winning it.
