Christian Cage is the latest guest on the AEW Unrestricted podcast, presented by the AEW Casino mobile game.
Christian recently signed with All Elite Wrestling and has vowed to, \”Out. Work. Everyone.\” During this discussion with Tony Schiavone and Aubrey Edwards, Captain Charisma spoke about his AEW debut, what he loves about AEW and much more.
Christian made his AEW at the recent Revolution pay-per-view. He was the \’big signing\’ teased by Paul Wight. Even though he\’s been a household name for decades, Christian reveals that he wasn\’t sure how fans would react to him in AEW.
“I get there, and straight onto a bus, and it’s nerve-wracking you know, because you’d be like, ‘Will anybody even care that I’m here?’\” he said. \”You know, you have those kind of thoughts that go through your head a little bit.\”
Christian in AEW
Christian\’s first match for AEW was against fellow veteran Frankie Kazarian. It was Christian\’s first singles match in seven years. He felt Kazarian was the right guy to work with for his debut.
“I wanted to raise his stock no matter what happened in that match, and I know he felt the same way,\” said Christian. \”When you have two guys committed to that purpose, I think you’re gonna go out there and do something really special.”
Christian was with WWE since the Attitude Era in the late 1990\’s. He knows that system inside and out. There are several ways that AEW differs from WWE. Christian says that one thing in particular that he enjoys is the amount of time that AEW gives talent to do their thing. “That’s the thing, too, that I love about AEW. There’s so much time in these matches to tell these stories.”
Other topics discussed include Jon Moxley\’s role in Christian joining AEW, his appreciation for AEW\’s tag team division, who he\’s excited to work with and more.
