AEW Superstar Christian Cage recently had an interview with Sports Illustrated and discussed about several topics including his talks about his contract with WWE.
He said that he had some cordial talks but he didn’t elaborate about it and said that he didn’t know what WWE is going to do with him at creative standpoint.
“There were some cordial talks, and I can’t really elaborate beyond that. I’m not sure where their heads were at creatively. I understand how big it was (Royal Rumble return). That’s not lost on me. It was humbling how much that meant to people.”
Christian Cage also spoke about his Royal Rumble return and said that Edge was also with him on Royal Rumble weekend. Only few people know about that he was cleared and when he got the call to be a surprise entrance in Royal Rumble then he said let’s do it. Here what Christian Cage said:
“He stayed at my house that weekend for the Rumble. There were only a handful of people that knew I was cleared, and I got a call at 7:30 that Friday night asking if I’d like to be a surprise in the Rumble. I’ve always bet on myself, so I said, ‘Let’s do it.’ It was a whirlwind from there. We went out there and had a great moment.”
