Christian Cage has enjoyed tremendous success since his AEW debut. Receiving matches against Kenny Omega, he managed to upset The Cleaner to become the Impact World Champion.

Initially known as TNA, Impact was the first promotion to understand Christian's true potential. While WWE mostly used him as an upper mid-card talent, Edge's retirement provided him with a perfect emotional story.

Christian and WWE capitalized on the situation, and Captain Charisma became a two-time World Heavyweight Champion, with relatively short reigns.

When Chris Jericho became All Elite, he was the biggest star in the rising promotion. The biggest acquisition quickly became the top guy on the roster when he won the promotion's world title.

Jericho was the inaugural world champion in the Tony Khan-led promotion and the first performer to win world championships in both WWE and AEW.

Le Champion's WWE career has been highly successful with multiple world championship reigns. He even managed to defeat The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin on the same night to become the first undisputed WWE champion.
