but I can't find any info on it (not through lack of trying) on google etc.
I think it was an over the top rope battle royal on Raw, also including Cena, R Truth and Sheamus (among others), for a title shot. I do remember spots of John Morrison saving himself in very unique ways (they were pushing his parkour at the time), by hooking both his feet onto the bottom rope while the rest of his body hung off the ring etc.
Even if it's only the date of the show in which the match was held, it will still be very helpful. And I will be able to find footage from there.
Any help would be really appreciated, as I want to make gifs from it to put into the gifs thread (for the current Morrison related posts i am doing), and I also haven't seen the match in ages.
Cheers.

Raw Jan 31st 2011. Bleacher reports, report on it
Raw Rumble Match
The winner faces the WWE champion at Elimination Chamber and the other six are stuck in the Chamber match. John Morrison is #1 and Sheamus is #2. Morrison hooks some armdrags and targets the arm before he hammers away in the corner and John Cena is #3. Cena is, indeed, a house of fire on Sheamus, hitting his SOS Sequence and trying the Attitude Adjustment on Morrison, who turns it into an enzuigiri in a nice spot. Punchy-kicky wastes some time as CM Punk is #4.
Knee lift/bulldog combo puts down Cena and Punk has stomps for everyone. They do the “lay against the ropes and pretend to throw each other out” spot for a bit until Cena hits a belly-to-belly on Sheamus and #5 is R-Truth. Truth targets John Cena and hits a leg lariat and tumbles to the outside with Morrison. Both guys were supposed to skin the cat back in but only Morrison does it successfully and Truth ends up looking like a goof. DDT from Punk puts down Cena and Jerry Lawler is #6.
Lawler throws his great right hands that no one else seems to know how to do tries to eliminate Punk but gets beat up by Sheamus. More laying on the ropes leads to Randy Orton at #7 and CM Punk smartly rolls out and hides under the ring. Orton eventually finds him and clotheslines him out and for the elimination but R-Truth immediately dumps Orton.
The Bore Zone is finally broken by Cena busting out the SOS Sequence on Sheamus and lifting both Morrison and Truth up for an Attitude Adjustment at the same time. Truth tumbles to the outside and is eliminated but Morrison holds on and drags Cena to the apron with him. A good tease spot but nothing comes of it as Sheamus cleans house before trying to eliminate Morrison but John hooks his feet on the bottom ropes to avoid elimination in another cool spot.
Cena wakes up and hooks the STF on Sheamus so Morrison adds Starship Pain, which misses by a MILE. King dumps Morrison but he does a handstand to avoid it yet again. Sheamus finally says “enough of this crap” and uses the Brogue Kick to send Morrison to the showers. Cena teeters on the apron yet again and Sheamus hammers away before using Lawler as a weapon to eliminate Cena. All looks lost for our hero but Sheamus charges and Cena pulls the rope down from the outside, low-bridging Sheamus and causing him to tumble to the floor. Are we serious here?
Winner and Number One Contender: Jerry Lawler
