5 wrestlers you never thought would be WWE Champion

#2 Christian

It was clear WWE valued Edge much higher than Christian.

There is no doubting that Christian was very popular with WWE fans during his time in the company, especially when he was partnered with Edge. The pair were hilarious together and also put on some of the best tag matches in WWE history, as well as becoming seven-time tag champions together.

However, it was made quite clear that WWE saw Edge as the star of the duo as he was pushed to become one of the biggest stars in WWE and an 11-time WWE Champion.

Christian on the other hand, was left out in the cold by WWE as they never really saw him as a top star. This also saw Christian leave WWE in 2005. He would not return to WWE till 2009.

However, despite Christian never getting the push of his tag partner Edge, he would hold the World Heavy Weight Championship in his second spell in WWE. Granted he did only hold it for five days and he did only win it because Edge helped him.

But he will go down in history as a World Heavyweight Champion, something few people thought he would ever do in WWE.
