1) WWE’s Reaction To Christian Signing With AEW
According to Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select (subscribe here), there was some talent in WWE who had their suspicions that Christian was signing with AEW. This came after Christian was absent from WWE tapings following his appearance at the Royal Rumble. Here is what Sapp wrote:
Christian made his AEW debut and signed with the company Sunday. Talent on the WWE side told us they weren’t aware for sure of the signing, but had their suspicions considering he was absent from programming since the Royal Rumble.
Sapp also added the following:
Higher ups in WWE told Fightful that Christian not being referenced on WWE TV wasn’t a coincidence and that while they were let down that Christian made the move, it was on the company for not having a contract locked down.
One talent we heard back from spoke highly of Christian as a person, and said that if it makes him happy, they’re happy for him.
My Take:
- I am happy for Christian. I hope that he shines with AEW and we get some great matches from him. I can’t lie though, I am upset that we won’t be getting Edge vs Christian and other great tag team matches involving them.
