During the men’s Royal Rumble match, former World Heavyweight Champion Christian made a surprise appearance at number 24. The match featured a special moment when he and his long-time tag team partner and childhood friend Edge embraced. The thought to be retired star lasted until the final five, being eliminated by Seth Rollins. Following the match, Christian would be interviewed backstage by the WWE Network and said that wrestling was what he was born to do. However, he was non-committal regarding any further matches saying, “All I was ever promised was one more match. That could be it.”

Christian hasn’t been able to wrestle for the past seven years due to concussion issues and couldn’t get cleared to wrestle previously despite WWE involving him in angles since. Obviously, something has changed as he wouldn’t have been able to compete had he not been medically cleared. His performance was excellent, and a tag team match with Edge would likely draw a lot of interest. Unfortunately, this year may not be possible as Edge is only contracted for two more matches in 2021.
