Royal Rumble Main Event?, + Morrison-WWE Backstage News

Following John Morrison's win over Sheamus in the #1 Contender's match at Sunday's Tables, Ladders & Chairs pay-per-view, the main event of January's Royal Rumble event is expected to be Morrison challenging The Miz for the WWE Championship.

Speaking of Morrison's performance last night, many within WWE saw it as a star-making breakout performance. Some compared it to the TLC match that put the Hardy Boyz, Edge and Christian "on the map" as top-tier performers. Despite his impressive performance, it really does come down to how WWE management pushes him and it's not a sure thing that he will be treated as a main eventer in the long term.

Didn't see the match, but there's no question in my mind that Morrison can get it done in the ring. He's done it before. Where he really needs to step it up is in his promos.

I thought the match was the highlight of the night. My favorite was when He kicked Sheamus rate in His face... I smoked to that, Hahaha`

But seriously though, this guy deserves to be in the lime light.

no doubt Kanes rematch will be at the Rumble also....i see HHH returnin and winnin the rumble

^ Please NO x2!

Hopefully that doesn't happen, it's happen two of the last three Rumble matches: Cena in 08, and Edge this year. Enough already. If someone's going to win it, it needs to be for beneficial purposes of 'Mania and the superstar getting that push; not just cheap ass shock value.

Exactly. Does anyone else feel like we will be getting Morrison winning at Rumble, Sheamus winning soon after, then triple H at wrestlemania?

If Morrison wins it's probably by disqualification. Or he'll win and the decision will be reversed - a little teaser for his fans.
