Morrison injured his knee doing a dive. He continued the match, but you could see the knee was hurting, and later in the show, when he had to come out with Miz, he was walking pretty slow.
Now, John Morrison addressed this speculation of botching the his move via Twitter and stated that it was went as planned. He also shared the video of his move practice and said that he had been working hard.
“I saw stuff online about me botching a dive Monday- the landing didn’t go as I pictured, but the dive was pretty close to exactly what I’ve been working on 😎 as soon as you eliminate the human idea that you need to jump off ur feet to springboard a world of possibilities opens up.”

Dave Meltzer also stated that John Morrison injury doesn’t appear to be bad as MVP and he completed the match with high-level. But after the match, he wasn’t walking well.
It didn’t appear to be as bad a deal as MVP, who was on a crutch from a leg injury the week before, because he was able to get around and continued working the match at a high level. But when he came out later, he wasn’t moving well.
