John Morrison is a former ECW champion and is currently the reigning Mega Champion as well as a former Latin American and World Cruiserweight Champion.

On December 19, 2010, at the Tables, Ladders & Chairs pay-per-view, Morrison defeated Sheamus in a WWE Championship number one contender's ladder match. He received his WWE Championship match on January 3, 2011, an episode of Raw, but lost to reigning champion, The Miz, in a falls count anywhere match. With the Royal Rumble around the corner, Morrison had another chance of being the number one contender for the WWE championship.

On January 30, 2011, Morrison entered the Royal Rumble at number 10. Even though he did not win, he had a stand-out moment which was praised by Wrestling critics as "arguably the spot of the decade" when Morrison was knocked off of the ring apron and performed a "Spider-Man" like leap onto the barricade to avoid having his feet touch the floor and then went on to precision jump onto the ring steps and re-enter the ring. This was and still is one of the most amazing Royal Rumble moves ever and was such a sight to see on that night.
