Former WWE World Champion Christian made his return to in-ring competition this past week when he faced Randy Orton in an unsanctioned match on RAW. The 'match' lasted seconds after Ric Flair low-blowed Christian followed by Orton punting him for a quick win.

Christian had returned for a match after six years, and there is increasing speculation on whether Captain Charisma is planning to follow his best-friend Edge and come out of retirement as well. Tom Colohue, however, has stated that Christian is still not fit to compete and is medically not cleared.

He also spoke about how Christian's arrival on WWE RAW helped increase the ratings of the show.

Also another one of Vince's go-to's is leaking information. The Christian information was leaked early in the day and almost everybody had it. In the hours preceding RAW, almost every wrestling journalist was talking about Christian... and they weren't being subtle about it. At all. I'm confident that information was meant to get out, to get the ratings going. And by the look of it, it did pay off.
