WWE Target Signs With Another Company

WWE

The son of WWE Hall of Famer Ricky Morton, Kerry Morton, won’t be looking towards a WWE or AEW career for quite some time.

In December 2022, Morton revealed that he had signed a new 18 month contract with NWA which would have taken him through to mid 2024.

He also revealed that both WWE and AEW had an interest in him, telling both that he was in college and wanted to graduate.

In a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, Morton provided an update on his contract status, saying:

“First and foremost, I extended my contract with the National Wrestling Alliance a few months ago to go into December 31, 2025.

“That being said, there are goals in mind. I was the NWA Junior Champion, I defend that belt in Canada, Mexico, Australia, Europe, all throughout the United States and I left a mark.

“I was the modern day Ric Flair as far as taking the belt and defending it all over the place. Now, my eyes is on the bigger prize.

“There are tag team belts in mind, but who is to say I wouldn’t want to be the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion?

“That’s the bottom line. That’s the reason I extended my contract. I put 110% into the NWA and I believe in it all the way.”

As Fightful also notes, in January 2024, Morton had confirmed he was signed to NWA until 2025.

In an interview with Straight Talk Wrestling in January 2024, Morton revealed that he had also spoken to Tommy Dreamer in IMPACT Wrestling (now TNA).
