AEW President Tony Khan recently chimed in on a surprising revelation regarding Christians 2009 return to WWE.
Former WWE announcer Todd Grisham shared an insider story about how Vince McMahon instructed him to deliberately downplay Christians re-debut on WWE programming, sparking conversation across the wrestling community.
The topic came up when Jason Solomon, host of the Solomonster Sounds Off podcast, highlighted the underwhelming reaction to Christians return. Grisham then revealed that his subdued call wasnt an accident, but rather a direct order from Vince McMahon. Grisham recalled:
The revelation quickly caught the attention of Tony Khan, who responded with disbelief on social media, praising Christians value as a wrestler and performer:
Khans reaction echoed the thoughts of many wrestling fans who have long regarded Christian Cage as one of the most talented and underrated performers in the industry. Christians time away from WWE, during which he became a top star in TNA Wrestling, only further proved his abilities.
When a fan suggested that McMahon may have been trying to sabotage Christians return, Grisham subtly agreed, replying that it seemed so.
Despite McMahons attempt to downplay his reintroduction, Christian would go on to achieve success in WWE, winning the ECW World Championship and eventually becoming World Heavyweight Champion. His current run in AEW, where hes been embraced as a top star, further solidifies his legacy in professional wrestling.
