Former WWE Superstar John Morrison recently revealed that he was meant to have a rivalry with The Miz before he was released.
In 2021, after thriving as a tag team for the second time in their careers, the former WWE Champion turned on Morrison, setting up a future program between the two. However, with Miz leaving the company for a brief period, WWE oddly released Morrison from his contract.
During a recent interview with NBC Sports Boston, the former WWE star spoke about the scrapped storyline between him and his former partner.
"We were going to feud, but he missed a couple of Raws before he left for Dancing with the Stars, so that never happened. I don’t know if the reason for that is public. But, that never happened and that’s why I was left in limbo, and then.. anyway, I don’t even want to get into it." H/T SEScoops

Miz added: "Like, you just keep going, you know, like when my buddy John Morrison, he got he got released. He was my tag team partner for a very long time and when he got released, I was like, oh man." H/T Sportskeeda
