On his AEW debut, Paul Wight announced that they would sign a Hall of Fame-worthy talent. The talent Wight referred to was Christian Cage.

Cage spent many years in WWE and held several titles. Like Wight, he is a Grand Slam and Triple Crown Champion. Although he retired a few years ago because of injuries, Cage made a return to the ring earlier this year.

Like his best friend Edge, Captain Charisma came out of retirement last January. He made a surprise entry into the 2021 Royal Rumble match. However, Cage's WWE contract expired shortly after.

Last March, Cage made his AEW debut at Revolution. In his first match, Cage defeated Frankie Kazarian on the March 25 episode of Dynamite.

The 47-year-old is now one of the top stars on the AEW roster. Last month, he defeated Kenny Omega on the first-ever Rampage to capture the Impact Wrestling World Title.

Cage recently enjoyed an eight-match winning streak. However, the streak was broken at the All Out pay-per-view when Captain Charisma lost to Omega in an AEW World Championship match.
