This weekend is shaping up to be a huge one for WWE. Not only will Survivor Series consist of battles between RAW, SmackDown and NXT on Sunday, but the warm-up for the Thanksgiving Tradition isn't too bad either. NXT TakeOver: WarGames 2019 takes place just 24 hours earlier.

While the card is stacked, one huge enigma remains: Team Ciampa only has three confirmed members thus far to take on The Undisputed ERA.

Well, talkSPORT's Alex McCarthy recently spoke with Triple H, who confirmed that while he won't be the fourth member of Team Ciampa, he did tease that the fourth Superstar will be "epic" and that people will be very excited - we just won't find out who until the day of.

Triple H also gave me a teaser for #NXTWarGames:"I know that at War Games there's an open slot on the Ciampa team that's going to be a day-of when people find out, I believe, and it's going to be epic. People will be very excited."Man, I'm pumped. pic.twitter.com/0TsZyzrcNW

Well, while much of the speculation may lead us to believe that the fourth man may be a returning Velveteen Dream, there is another name floating around who would most definitely excite the WWE Universe.

Despite seemingly killing the rumor that he had re-signed with WWE, one man whose name just won't go away is that of John Morrison.

The internet has been rife with speculation that the three-time WWE Intercontinental Champion may very well return to the company. What bigger surprise than to have the 40-year-old former ECW World Champion return to the company after almost nine years away, and make his presence felt on the black and gold brand?

Morrison, of course, is no stranger to NXT, wrestling Miz on the brand back in 2011 - but the black and gold is a very different beast now.

John Morrison was a major name in WWE and one of the true fan-favorites, and his seven years away haven't been spent sitting around. A career in television has run parallel alongside stints in Lucha Underground and Impact Wrestling, where the Tough Enough winner has rarely been seen without gold around his waist.

Could we see John Morrison become Johnny NXT this weekend? Only time will tell.
