3 Reasons why WWE should plan John Morrison vs Sheamus in near future

This week's episode of SmackDown Live witnessed the return of two former big names - John Morrison and Sheamus. The Celtic Warrior returned from injury which kept him on the sidelines for a year whereas Morrison rejoined the organisation after spending years away, wrestling in different countries, competing for various promotions and more.

Back in the day, Mr Starship Pain's high flying moves left the WWE fans in awe and it will be interesting to see if Morrison still has his skills or if there any enhancements to look forward to. A look back into Morrison's time with the company takes us back to the time he feuded with The Celtic Warrior who in fact happened to make the return from his injury on exactly the same day as his former adversary. Sheamus returned to take out Shorty Gable and it was quite evident that the European sensation is back to his heel ways and is looking to take the roster by a storm.

With the two rivals back, the fans will be pretty intrigued to watch these two lock horns again simply because there are a number of good reasons to make that happen. Here we list down three reasons why WWE should plan John Morrison vs Sheamus in the near future:

#3 A hit last time around

A shot from Sheamus and Morrison's rivalry back in 2010

John Morrison and Sheamus were involved in a pretty heated rivalry in 2010 which saw them compete in a number of intense matches. From their Ladder match at TLC in 2010 to their bout at the King of the Ring finale, the two were at each other's throat and the fans simply enjoyed this feud. Pitting these two against each other will certainly give both the Superstars a genuine storyline to work upon as they'll get a chance to rekindle the animosity towards each other inside the sacred squared circle.

Their feud was a massive hit last time around and the company should bank on it now that both the athletes have returned. Avid fans are never against the idea of pitting two former rivals.

#2 Eagerness of fans

John Morrison is back with the company after 9 years

Both Sheamus and Morrison have spent a substantial amount of time away from WWE with the latter being away for almost 9 years. The air surrounding their respective returns oozes freshness and it won't be far-fetched to say the fans will be eager to watch them compete in the ring. Booking them against each other will just augment the freshness and give the fans an opportunity to reminisce their rivalry from 2011, which led to a blockbuster event.

Sheamus looks ripped

WWE Universe is very welcoming which is why returns are so overhyped simply because the company knows that fans accept a returning Superstar with open arms. With neither of the men having any advantages in terms of morale or connect with the fans, it will be interesting to note how the WWE enthusiasts respond to this feud taking place.

#1 A solid mid-card bout

A solid mid-card bout on paper

Slipping Morrison or Sheamus into the main event frame will seem a bit desperate at the moment and nor will it make any sense. Whereas pitting them in a mid-card bout makes up for a sensible argument. Morrison is set to partner The Miz against New Day but it is safe to say that the 'The Shaman of Sexy' isn't back to just grace the Tag Team division but to embark an impressive singles run.

Sheamus on the other hand as well was heavily involved in the Tag Team division alongside Cesaro. The Celtic Warrior is one of the most successful European Superstars of all time and will be gunning to kick-start a solid singles run now that he has returned to in-ring action after spending so much time on the sidelines.

With both Superstars in top shape, a sensational mid-card bout is there to anticipate and will surely grab a lot of headlines.
