The return is no longer under wraps as WWE confirmed John Morrison has signed with the company. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The news was confirmed by Ryan Satin on WWE Backstage. News of Morrison returning to WWE was first reported in September by Mike Johnson of PWInsider. However, Morrison was quick to take to Twitter to seemingly deny the report, saying, "Thanks for the heads up @PWInsidercom -- please lemme know when I’m signed with AEW- or ROH"
