For the Intercontinental Championship, Rey Mysterio faced John Morrison. This Intercontinental Title fight pitted two of WWE’s greatest in-ring talents against each other, and it lived up to the hype. Morrison was defeated by Mysterio when Mysterio pounced on him. In this instant classic, WWE put their faith in Mysterio for the job, and he fulfilled, letting Morrison look like a star.
CM Punk was one of the key attractions of ECW’s relaunch. It was Punk’s final chance to fight John Morrison for the ECW Championship on the September 4, 2007, episode of ECW. Until this bout, Punk and Morrison’s interactions had been unimpressive. Punk managed to nail Morrison with GTS, putting an end to his quest to become ECW Champion. Even though Morrison lost they both men had one of the best matches together in their careers.
After getting viciously attacked by The Miz, the duo was broken and a new rivalry started which resulted in both men going after each other’s throats and trying to destroy each other. The storyline was cool and they both kept and played their characters or persona perfectly.
