John Morrison, wrestling under his real name of John Hennigan, participated in Tough Enough Season 3, finishing as the co-winner of the show with Matt Cappotelli. Morrison was given a developmental contract with WWE developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling. After 2 years in the developmental territory, Morrison graduated from Developmental to the main roster before being called up to form a stable with Joey Mercury and Melina, a valet and Morrison's girlfriend, named MNM.

After his time with MNM, Morrison broke out into a singles career, finding himself with at various times holding the Intercontinental and ECW titles, as well as having top-level feuds against former tag team partner The Miz. Morrison was also given a few opportunities to challenge for the WWE Championship but was never successful in any of his shots.

However, it is in the independent promotions that Morrison has found his place, performing at the highest level for Mexican promotion AAA and TNA Impact, as well as being one of the headline stars of Mexican-American promotion Lucha Underground.
