"Wack" - Christian Cage told to ditch Nick Wayne and his mother by wrestling legend

Wrestling veteran Konnan has urged Christian Cage to kick Nick and Shayna Wayne out of The Patriarchy. Christian is a former AEW TNT Champion.

Christian Cage signed with AEW in 2021 and had a great run as a babyface. However, The Patriarch kicked into the next gear after he officially became a heel. Christian's heel turn brought him the TNT Championship, and he also earned a future shot at the World Title at All In 2024 after winning the Casino Gauntlet Match.

The former WWE Superstar formed The Patriarchy faction along with Nick Wayne and Luchasaurus (Killswitch) in October 2023. Nick's mother, Shayna Wayne, joined as a valet in December last year.

In a recent chat on his Keepin' It 100 OFFICIAL podcast, Konnan stated that the company should pull the trigger on Luchasaurus and Christian's story. The veteran also claimed that Nick Wayne and his mother were ''whack,'' urging Cage to boot them out of the faction.

"I think as far as Christian, when you say he's arguably the best heel in the industry, that is arguable because it was Roman [Reigns]. But anyway, the only thing I don't like is number one: pull the trigger on Luchasaurus and him. Number two, I think the mom of Nick Wayne [Shayna] and Nick Wayne are wack. They add absolutely nothing to that faction, but either way, Christian's done a great job of everything he's given. He's made it entertaining," he said. [1:28-2:08]

Tony Khan calls Christian Cage the ''MVP'' of AEW

Christian became All Elite in 2021. The veteran has since proved to be one of the best signings for the promotion. During the 2024 Double or Nothing Media Call, Tony Khan claimed Christian had done the best work of his career in All Elite Wrestling.

The AEW President called the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion the ''MVP'' of the Jacksonville-based promotion.

"Christian Cage, who has been, in my opinion, an MVP of AEW television over the past year. What Christian Cage has done for the company is unbelievable. I absolutely believed that was what we were gonna get when we signed him, and I think it’s been proven right. I think Christian Cage is one of the best signings we’ve ever made in AEW,'' he said.
