On the 4th May episode of Dynamite, MJF introduced W. Morrissey, who was signed with Impact Wrestling as a mystery opponent for Wardlow, which delighted fans in attendance. And while Morrissey, who is best known for his time as Big Cass in WWE, would lose, he looked to be in fantastic condition, and subsequently, rumors would commence that WWE was interested in him possibly returning once his Impact deal was up. However, either WWE wasn’t interested, or Tony Khan offered him a better deal because he has returned to AEW alongside Stokely Hathaway, laying out The Wingmen during Dynamite.
Morrisey suffered from mental health issues and an alcohol addiction following his WWE release in June 2018. Yet, he fought hard to recover and returned to the ring after almost 18 months away in February 2021 on an independent show. He’d be the surprise tag partner for Hernandez facing Luke and Perry Hawx, but beforehand he’d make the save for his former WWE tag partner Enzo Amore. He’d then go on to compete in several singles matches on the indies, proving he was in good health, both mentally and physically, before signing with Impact Wrestling in April 2021 and being a prominently featured performer for them.
