DDP Advised John Morrison To Join AEW Instead Of Returning To WWE

Diamond Dallas Page has revealed he advised John Morrison to consider joining All Elite Wrestling prior to re-joining WWE in 2019.

Morrison made his return to WWE in 2019 after initially departing in 2011 but DDP, who is friends with Morrison, suggested that he pursued a move to Tony Khan's AEW instead.

Speaking on Sportskeeda's The Bro Show, DDP said: "When John was thinking about going back (to WWE), I was like, 'Bro, go to AEW. You'll be a huge star there.'

"Johnny's one of the most talented workers on the planet... AEW is a different version of WCW, where the work-rate is different to the jargon. The workers there are... you've just seen the guys from Undisputed (Era), all those cats can work their a*s off.

"That guy (Morrison) is one of the most talented human beings, as far as being an athlete, on the planet. His whole parkour stuff that he does. He's a real-life superhero."

Morrison was released by WWE in November amid another round of reported budget-related cuts by the promotion.
