Christopher Daniels had a relatively short stay in WWE. He joined the company in 1998 but never really took off. Daniels botched a springboard moonsault during an episode of WCW Monday Nitro and injured himself. He was released from his WWE contract without competing in another match.

Daniels' then joined another pro-wrestling promotion and became a big name in the company. However, it was the time he spent at IMPACT Wrestling (fka Total Nonstop Action) that took him to the top of the wrestling industry.

His “Fallen Angel” made him become a top wrestler outside WWE, and he became widely known as one of the best tag team wrestlers in the world. After competing for both ROH and Impact for several years, Daniels moved to All Elite Wrestling (AEW).

Along with Frankie Kazarian, Daniels has carved a niche for himself. He is nearing the end of his wrestling career, but could continue playing a major role in AEW’s development in the years to come. He is widely regarded as one of the best wrestlers in the world who never won a title in WWE.
