The Amazing Return Of John Morrison

After weeks on the shelf due to injury, John Morrison made his epic return to Raw. He was shown backstage when Austin put him in a match against R-Truth. Later on, when the match came around, it was revealed that R-Truth took Morrison out backstage. He then went there and took a few more shots. Epic. Really? No, not really.

Obviously, Morrison was not ready to come back for real just yet. Was bringing him back like they did even necessary then? Well, it makes some kind of use of him. It is better than randomly being seen backstage, playing with your cellphone. It adds a little more to the story between R-Truth and John Morrison. Do not for a second think that R-Truth will win the WWE title, continue on in the main event, and never have to face John Morrison again. When R-Truth gets his depush, just like Miz did, just like Kane did over on Smackdown a few months ago, just like diva credible jobbers, Truth will be doing something back in the midcard. Why not finish that feud with John Morrison? Wait a minute. Did I just say that this is the same thing that happens to the divas? They get PPV matches and elaborate feuds with their former sidekicks, go on to win tag title within months of losing a major title, or have a feud that is literally months in the making? No. This is not the norm for these credible jobbers. R-Truth be blessed he was born a man.

Let me talk about the divas. What did they do on Raw? What did former Champions like Eve, Natalya, Beth Phoenix, Melina, and Gail Kim do? Eve, instead of getting some kind of proper finish to her feud with Brie Bella, got some mic time! So much better! Yeah, especially when she announced that the face divas were going to be Rockettes. This is the diva division the WWE wants? One thing is for sure, with the lack of a centerpiece in place, proper credible jobbers to put the centerpiece over, and any interesting storylines, this is the diva division they must live with. And what happened to Kharma is no excuse. You still have many women on Raw to use, and better than they did tonight. Tonight was just pathetic. John Morrison looked more impressive just standing backstage with Austin than that diva segment looked. Cold shoulder, injury, heat with Melina, whatever issue people may want to bring up with Morrison or not, this guy is still easily in a better position than pretty much every diva on the roster.
