Christian Cage is BACK! Being a huge fan of his work in TNA-this is really a big deal to me. Couldn't be more proud of Cage. It was hard to watch WWE wasting him all these years & having him play some kind of "supporting role" for Edge. Edge is great & everything, but Christian Cage is GREAT. He's too good to be playing second-fiddle to Edge. Christian Cage is his own man! AT LAST-Christian Cage is on his own! Really hoping he finally brings back the signature baggy pants and hoodie jackets for his entrance. This was honestly the best possible signing for AEW to have made; all things considered. Christian's in this for the long haul. He will do great things in AEW.

To sign WWE Legends with experience under their belts who’re a walking gold mine of knowledge/understanding is just pure brilliance.

Christian could work with a carton of milk and make it work. Darby Allan, Sammy G, Ricky Starks, Scorpio Sky. Christopher Daniels, MjF. But I wouldnt lie when he came out. Kenny Omega, Young Bucks, Cody or Sting pop in my head.

Christian seems like such a beauty

Renee is the fastest at getting these interviews👏👏👏.. Keep it up Renee. Much respect from Connecticut

[@CrystalFissure]

I was first introduced to Christian Cage in TNA - I didn't see his first WWE run. The guy is fantastic, and I'm so glad to see him in AEW. Let's see what he's got to prove.

[@drizzant23]

I loved Revolution!! The ending was weird but what counts is no one really got hurt. I'm so excited to see Christian.

[@R.Clark91]

Take a drink every time Renee says “yeah” haha

[@realazreal]

He is going to have so many phenomenal matches in AEW no doubt

[@WWEBengalsFan1997]

Mox and Christian future AEW tag champs? Edge and Kevin Owens future WWE tag champs?

[@harryhopkins5575]

Would love to see Christian get in the ring with Eddie Kingston as well.

[@doshi066]

I'm glad he can finally be treated as a mega star he is cause he's always been in edge shadow but part of me wish he stayed in wwe to have one last tag team run with edge

[@paganjay1085]

I like how he's talking about the young guys when he knows him vs CD is gonna be fucking scorched earth fire!

Christian vs Omega is a match I want to see!

[@Express-420]

Edge would be a great guest to have

[@LexiKnight]

This takes me back to when Christian jumped to TNA in 2005. As much as I wish he stayed a bit longer in WWE and had a tag title run with Edge, he would always be in Edge's shadow and never be used to his full potential. Personally, I always felt he was as good if not better than Edge and could have a great match with pretty much everyone. I hope he has a great run in AEW like he did in TNA and it's nice to hear the name Christian Cage again!

Christian didn't meet Omega because Kenny was so pissed off about the explosion botch he just stormed out the building

[@liamhemstock2286]

I don’t blame him. The only other person I could see being even more mad and having a good reason for it is Eddie Kingston. He couldn’t see the explosion sorry “explosion” so he sold as if he got killed when in fact all that happened was it got a bit foggy. It made him look stupid. Also the kayfabe blame went on Omega making him look even more stupid. The concept was brilliant of the explosion and how Eddie would save Moxley and turn face but AEW completely messed it up.

[@Baraka_Obama_]

@@liamhemstock2286 Kenny is active on social media but hasn't posted anything since the botch, I'm sure he's embarrassed as is Kingston and Mox man that sucks seems like a wasted effort then you Cornette and all the AEW haters eating these guys alive
