AEW News Roundup: Tony Khan not returning Hall of Famer's calls, former WWE star worried during Cody Rhodes match, MJF compared to legend

#1. Jim Ross praises Christian Cage for his role in AEW

Christian Cage joined AEW to much fanfare. After injuries forced Captain Charisma into retirement, he has made an unlikely return to wrestling and been a regular part of AEW programming for many months.

Christian returned at the Royal Rumble this year, a year after his best friend and former tag team partner Edge made his return at the same pay-per-view. However, in a surprising turn of events, Christian Cage was in AEW shortly after.

Jim Ross was full of praise for the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion for his role in mentoring and elevating the younger talent in AEW.

"He’s a real good member of the team because he adds a lot of experience and he’s normally willing to share it with the young guys,” Ross said of Christian. “I think Christian has probably been a big help for Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus. That’s who they’re married to right now. He’s still working, he’s still having a good time and he’s still contributing.” (H/T- Wrestling Inc.)

Christian Cage is currently part of an ongoing feud between the Young Bucks, Adam Cole and the Jurassic Express. The former WWE star has already put over Jungle Boy and looks set to do the same for Adam Cole sometime in the near future.

He has been excellent in the ring as well, putting on great matches against the likes of Kenny Omega and Josh Alexander. The highlight of his AEW career was pinning the Belt Collector on the debut episode of Rampage to win the IMPACT Wrestling World Championship.
