WWE superstar John Morrison spoke to SLAM! Wrestling recently to discuss the Royal Rumble. During the interview, Morrison spoke about some of the younger, new stars in the WWE.

Firstly, Morrison spoke about this Sunday’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view event, and claimed that he believed he was in the Rumble match itself despite not being advertised on WWE.com.

“Holy crap. This whole time I thought I was,” said Morrison. “I’m sure I’ll be in there.”

“So far it hasn’t worked out for me to win the Royal Rumble and go on to main event Wrestlemania, but I think that’s what I’m going to try to do this year.

“That’s the thing about the Rumble, there’s 30 superstars involved, and it’s the most unpredictable, chaotic match of the year. So you don’t know what’s going to happen, anybody could win.

“If you do win, it’s one of those things where it can make your entire career. People go on and on about Maven throwing the Undertaker out of the Royal Rumble for years, and he didn’t even win.

“It was just something at that pay-per-view. It’s because it’s that big of a deal.”

Morrison praised two rising stars in the WWE, The Miz and Dolph Ziggler, yet didn’t have such kind words for the current WWE Champion Sheamus.

“I think a lot of people rise too quickly and they find out when they get there — I think Sheamus is going to find out — that they haven’t really earned the respect of the WWE Universe or the locker room.

“They’re going to end up falling flat, falling back down the card and either walk back up to the top or just fall right down and stay down.”
