Tough Enough III, a reality-based tournament, catapulted John Morrison into the WWE. Morrison debuted in the WWE under the ring name Johny Nitro and competed in the Tag Team division. Soon after, he formed the MNM faction alongside Melina and Joey Mercury. Three times, John Morrison would win the Tag Team Championship.
They defeated Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio to win their first Tag Team championships. Later, the faction split off from Joey, and he and Melina joined RAW. Nitro soon began to compete in singles battles and was a contender for the Intercontinental Championship. After defeating Shelton Benjamin, he began his first WWE reign. After that, Johhny Nitro won the Intercontinental Championship on two occasions.
Morrison then formed a partnership with Miz. Over the next few months, Morrison and Miz enjoyed a string of successful championship defences. They had a fight with Cryme Tyme as well. The tag team titles were won by Miz and Morrison over CM Punk and Kofi Kingston. After that, he defeated Rey Mysterio in the third bout to win the Intercontinental Championship.
He returned to RAW on April 26 and was embroiled in a rivalry with Sheamus after assisting Santino Marella. He also defeated Sheamus at one time to become the WWE Championship’s number one contender. Unfortunately, John Morrison’s efforts were unsuccessful. After a Falls Count Anywhere bout with The Miz, he was fired from WWE.
The Miz and Morrison challenged Bad Bunny and Damian Priest at Wrestlemania 37 but were defeated. Morrison went on a solo streak when Miz suffered an injury, defeating Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton. He was dismissed from his WWE contract on November 18, 2021.

John Morrison’s wife is Kira Renée Magnin-Forster or also known as Taya Valkyrie. They got married in 2018. Also, Valkyrie is a fellow wrestler like Morrison.
Yes, they are good friends not just on-screen but off-screen as well.
Morrison began to dress bizarrely, and he added Drip Drip to his name so that fans could sing it. It was well received by the WWE Universe, who joyously chanted along with it. Morrison capitalised on this by employing water pistols to further amplify the term.
Morrison was re-branded by the WWE as an entirely different person. Morrison changed his name from Nitro to Morrison, claiming that this was his true birth name, and he established a new, more cocky persona.
