Christian Discusses If He Wants To Make A Comeback

A number of wrestlers have made miraculous returns from injury over the last couple of years. One name that keeps getting brought up for a potential return is Christian.

He was retired in 2014 when he suffered a concussion on Raw but it doesn’t seem like he is interested in a comeback. Christian told Alex McCarthy of TalkSPORT why he is content to keep his gear hung up.

Here is the quote:

“My situation is much different than Daniel Bryan’s. He was, what, in his early 30s when this happened? I was in my 40s, so very different parts of our careers, and I feel like I’m content with what I accomplished. I just don’t feel the need to go back and dip my toes in the water at all. For Edge, he felt the need to go back and instead of having the end of the story written for him, write it himself. That window he never thought was going to open for him and after almost nine years, it’s pretty much unheard of.

It’s all about memorable moments and for me, he created a huge moment at the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania; it wasn’t in the setting everyone thought it was going to be and not necessarily in the setting he wanted it to be, but it’s the state of the world. So I think it became really important for him to go out and put this match on to provide some entertainment for fans and an escape for people. And I think that was important. Whether there was 70,000 people in a stadium or he was in a Performance Center with just cameras, him coming down that ramp was one of the greatest moments in WrestleMania history, in my opinion.”

Christian’s best friend Edge recently returned to the ring after nine years. He retired after issues with his neck began to resurface but after time away he was deemed medically cleared. Edge then returned at the Royal Rumble to the shock of fans everywhere.
