Ryan Satin announced on this week's WWE Backstage that John Morrison will be returning to WWE.

It has been strongly rumored since September that the former WWE Intercontinental Champion had signed a new deal with the company. 

Morrison left WWE in 2011 and has since worked for Impact Wrestling, Lucha Underground and a number of independent promotions.
