Christian Cage had a lot to say about his future as a WWE Superstar, following his return at the Royal Rumble. He spoke about it on an edition of WWE's The Bump.
"No decisions have been made and I'm not sure at this point. It's still to be determined. We'll just take it day to day at this point, and like I said, if that ends up being my last match, then I did it on my terms and that's what I wanted....Of course, if I do step back in the ring again in any capacity, I would love to team with Edge again....There are some real dream matches out there," said Christian.
Now that Christian Cage is All Elite, it would be interesting to see how the promotion handles him going forward. One thing's for sure though, and that's he is in the best shape of his life, and proved at the Royal Rumble that he can have one more run in the squared circle.
While a lot of the fans were excited to see Captain Charisma in AEW, some of them weren't too happy with the new acquisition by Tony Khan. Here are some of the best reactions to Christian Cage being revealed as AEW's new signee:
