Big E vs. John Morrison

Friday Night Smackdown January 17

Prior to the commercial break, Morrison got the early advantage over Big E with a draping neck breaker to the floor. After the break, Morrison hit a standing shooting star press and went for the pinfall, but Big E picked him right up. Morrison maintained control until Big E caught him and hit a pair of overhead belly to belly suplexes. Kofi and The Miz got into it on the outside, but Morrison jumped onto Kingston from the top turnbuckle. John Morrison finished Big E off with his split legged corkscrew moonsault (starship pain).
