Three years had passed since Christian last threatened to sue WWE. Captain Charisma tried his legal tactics once again in late 2014, this time with his best friend Edge by his side. At Survivor Series 2014, Team Cena was able to vanquish The Authority from power thanks to the timely interference of Sting. WWE was left with temporary general managers until a permanent replacement could be found.

When Edge and Christian found themselves in the role on the December 29th, 2014 edition of RAW, things quickly turned sour. After the pair were ambushed by Seth Rollins (the prodigal Son of the Authority), the Architect threatened to cripple the Rated-R Superstar for good. There was only one way out of the situation and it required John Cena invoking his power to bring Triple H and Stephanie McMahon back.

Doing just that, the Authority returned to power, although Edge and Christian later filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the company. Although this angle prompted many fans believe the pair would be on screen more, nothing came of it. Within weeks, there was no mention of the lawsuit, and Edge and Christian never got their payout.
