I never understood why Christian never got the huge prominent spot in WWE that he deserved.

Christian was the highest that a Superstar could go on the upper mid-card, with several reigns as the Intercontinental Champion, among other titles.

He was a talented, dependable performer, who always entertained the audience. He deserved to be a top Superstar.

It looked like things were heading that way in 2005, when he faced World Champion Batista in the main event of RAW, and received so many cheers, that you would have thought he was the face, and Batista the heel.

He then feuded with John Cena and was apart of a Triple Threat match for the WWE Championship at Vengeance 2005.

Just one week later, he main evented SmackDown, in a match to determine a new SmackDown Champion, and was even last eliminated.

Unfortunately, Christian would only go down from here, and after feeling underappreciated and burnt out, he left WWE and joined TNA Wrestling, where he became a 2 time NWA World Champion, and one of the biggest main event players in TNA history.

Christian returned to WWE in 2009, where he became the top star of the C show, WWE ECW.

Following the end of that brand, he wrestled the mid-card, yet again, before the retirement of best friend Edge, would open the door for him to become WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

Christian was finally getting the push he deserved, for two days before he lost the title to company favorite Randy Orton.

Christian and Orton had an excellent feud, with some fantastic matches, and Christian even won the World Championship for a second time, albeit by disqualification and only held it for one month.

Christian wouldn't see the main event scene again until briefly in 2013 when he lost to Alberto Del Rio at Summerslam 2013. He retired shortly thereafter.
