Christian made his WWE debut in the late 90s during the peak of the Attitude Era. Initially, he made a name for himself as a member of The Brood, along with Edge and Gangrel. Soon after, Edge and Christian rose up the ranks in the Tag Team division and had numerous classics against The Hardy Boyz and The Dudley Boyz.

Their TLC match at WrestleMania 17 is still regarded as one of the greatest bouts in the history of pro-wrestling.

Christian never managed to become a main event star during his first WWE run, unlike his partner Edge, who won multiple World titles and became one of the biggest heels in the business. Christian didn't renew his contract after it expired in late 2005.

He made his way to TNA in November 2005 and used one of his early in-ring names, thus becoming "Christian Cage". In TNA, Cage won the NWA World title on two occasions. Upon his return to WWE in 2009, he soon became ECW World Champion and went on to win the World title twice.
