Former WWE superstar John Morrison has been in the news lately. And it’s surprisingly not for his wrestling but boxing skills. The former ECW world champion took on Harley Morenstein at the Creator Clash 2 on Saturday night. However, it could have been a former WWE performer who could have been Morrison’s opponent.

He made quick work of his opponent, dominating and finishing the match in the third round via a knockout. But if the organizers had their way, the former MNM member had his way, he would have gone against Matt Cardona in the boxing ring.

John Morrison reveals a former WWE superstar was his first choice for an opponent

Prior to the bout, Morrison interacted with Mojo Muhatadi aka Mojo Rawley of TMZ Sports. He spilled the beans on how Cardona could have been his first opponent in boxing. He said, “Let me tell you something about Matt Cardona. So, they asked me if I’d be willing to fight Harley {Morenstein} or Matt Cardona, and I asked him if he wanted to fight and he goes, ‘Bro, I’m not gonna fight anyone.

“I’m definitely not gonna fight you. Bro, no. Are you crazy? No, I’m not gonna fight.’ But, literally, he was like my first phone call. They wanted me to fight broski.”

The 6-time WWE tag team champion was definitely looking for an uphill challenge and Cardona could have provided it. Not many were surprised when he used up all his athletic ability to dispatch Morenstein, who had limited experience in the fighting world.

Morrison has developed great confidence in his glove work as he has already claimed he can knock out YouTuber-turned-wrestler Logan Paul easily. And was quick to throw down the gauntlet on Paul’s PRIME Hydration drink business partner KSI after the match.

Morrison issues challenge for KSI

The British-based YouTuber has five wins to his name in boxing, including four knockouts. Coming up against him could be a whole new challenge but Morrison looks primed for it.

Whether KSI pays any heed to the summon remains to be seen. If it does happen, it will be interesting to see whether the former Intercontinental champion can put his money where his mouth is as he has done countless times in his WWE days.

John Morrison has always been a gifted performer. His fans have witnessed it over the years in a wrestling ring and are now getting to watch his dominance in the boxing ring. Matt Cardona rejected the chance to be his first opponent but a glance at Moreinstein’s fate wouldn’t have made him rue his decision. Nevertheless, Morrison has kickstarted his boxing career and from the look of things is already ready for his next bout.

Do you think Matt Cardona should have accepted John Morrison’s offer to be his first opponent in boxing? Let us know in the comments below. We will be glad to hear your thoughts.
