Five weeks after he shocked wrestling fans by appearing at #24 during the men’s Royal Rumble match, Christian Cage debuted for AEW at this past Sunday’s Revolution pay-per-view. Now speaking on to Renée Paquette on her podcast, he has revealed how a conversation with her husband Jon Moxley led to him opening negotiations with Tony Khan and a deal quickly being agreed upon.

It all happened really quick. I wasn’t sure I was going to go after, and all the talks I had were very cordial. I’m good friends with you, I’m good friends with Jon, and he talked to me and had his opinions, and it made me kinda think, “OK, maybe I am doing myself a disservice if I don’t at least explore all my options,” and, at this final stage of my career, I ended up having a conversation with Tony, and it just escalated very quickly. It went very fast. Within a week, it was a done deal. Christian Cage

The two-time former WWE World Heavyweight Champion also revealed that he didn’t initially know that he would be the subject of so much hype. In fact, when Big Show teased his signing on last week’s Dynamite, he actually hadn’t even signed with AEW.

As far as I knew at that point in time, it was going to be a complete secret. I was just going to show up, and it was going to be a surprise, I didn’t realize it was going to be. I’m being 100% honest. On Wednesday, there was nothing signed. It was a shock to me when I heard it, and obviously, Tony and I hit it off pretty quick, and we felt comfortable enough that we were definitely going to get something done and work together.Christian Cage

Before his Royal Rumble appearance, Christian’s previous proper wrestling match was seven years prior, where held won an Intercontinental Title #1 contendership match. He never did get to challenge Randy Orton for the championship as WWE forced him to retire due to concussion issues. However, as we’ve seen with Daniel Bryan and Edge, medical advice can change with time and improving knowledge.
