Former WWE star John Morrison has revealed that there were scrapped plans for him to feud with The Miz prior to his release.
Morrison was aligned with The Miz for a lot of his most recent WWE run, joining forces with the star in 2020, before The Miz turned on him in August 2021.
Speaking with Steve Fall of NBC Sports Boston, Morrison confirmed that the duo were meant to have a program, but the feud ultimately didn’t happen due to The Miz’ Dancing With The Stars schedule.
Morrison said:
“We were going to feud, but he missed a couple of Raw before he left for Dancing With The Stars. So, that never happened. I don’t know if the reason for that is public. That never happened and that’s why I was left in limbo. Anyway, I don’t want to get into it.
“The thing about it is, after (Taya Valkyrie) was gone, I didn’t want to be there anymore. When I heard I was being released, I went through the eight steps of grief, or ten, however many, in like 30 seconds. From surprised to shock to regret to okay.”
Morrison went on to criticise the previous WWE management team, sharing his honest thoughts on former Head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis.
