Johnny Elite (previously John Morrison in WWE)Â made his shocking debut on AEW Dynamite, taking on Samoa Joe in an Owen Hart Cup match. He was unveiled as the ‘Joker’ mystery opponent for Joe in the tournament. AEW has not dropped an ‘All Elite’ graphic just yet for the star.
Johnny Elite is reportedly yet to sign a deal with AEW
 PWInsider reported earlier this morning that Johnny Elite hasn’t signed with AEW at this time, while also noting the door was open for future appearances.
In the same report, it also clarified a situation last night where the AEW on TNT Twitter account tagged Johnny Gargano last night as Johnny Elite made his entrance, confusing the two free agents. They noted that the account is run by AEW’s broadcast partner and not AEW itself, and thus the error cannot be attributed to the promotion.
Johnny Elite has now wrestled for every major US wrestling company in the last twenty years, having previously wrestled for WWE, Impact, Lucha Underground, and even Ring of Honor as part of the Jericho Rockin’ Rage at Sea back in 2018. His AEW debut saw him endure a defeat against Samoa Joe, followed by both Elite and Joe being attacked by Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, and Satnam Singh after the match.
