In 2018, Braun Strowman sent a unique message to long-term rival Kevin Owens by locking him inside a porta-potty before throwing him off the side of the Raw stage.

Several years earlier, John Morrison wanted to go one step further than Strowman by taking part in a never-before-seen match against his former tag team partner, The Miz, with the loser being knocked over whilst being inside a porta potty.

“I wanted to have a Porta Potty match with The Miz. To win you have to close someone in the Porta Potty and knock it over. I pitched these. I pitched all these ideas.”

The former allies first faced off in a high-profile PPV match at Bragging Rights 2009, with The Miz defeating Morrison, and both men went on to feature in matches for the World Heavyweight Championship against John Cena in 2011.

Morrison’s Tanning Bed match idea sounded interesting, but would people really have wanted to see him face The Miz in a porta potty match? As we’ve learned throughout this article, some crazy gimmick matches have made it to TV throughout the years. Thankfully, this one did not!
