John Morrison was recently asked if he would make a WWE return.
Morrison has had two runs with the promotion, the latest ending a couple of years ago. Morrison left the company without much fanfare, but has since gone on to return to the independent circuit and even recently made his boxing debut, winning by knockout at Creator Clash 2.
While speaking to Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, Morrison admitted that he would return to the company if they were to come calling.
“I hate that place. But sure, if they called me, I’d go back. (Laughs). Why do (I) hate it? Because it’s your dream. It’s what I’ve watched as a kid, and then you show up and you want to live your dream and do the things that you’ve dreamed of doing, but it’s a bastardized version of what you want to do. That was my experience.
It’s not for everybody. I kind of exaggerated the hate thing to make a little joke, but sure, I’d go back. I tried not to burn any bridges. I love the roster there, I love a lot of the people there.
I love the roster of AEW, Tony I like a lot. Vince, I actually like a lot too. I like all the minds in professional wrestling.
The place that I go next, I really want to have a good, honest talk with whoever’s in charge, whether it’s Vince, Tony, the number one in charge of WWE-UFC, the merger, or Nick Khan, or whoever that might be, and find out exactly what they have planned for me, and hopefully they’re honest.
If I don’t like that, I’ll probably not go, and if I do, I will. That’s more important than the money for me right now.”

We will have to wait and see if Morrison will decide to return to WWE but for now he is revelling in his victory inside the boxing ring.
