Christian Cage has had an incredible 2023 run thus far in All Elite Wrestling.
AEW TNT Champion Christian Cage recently sat down with Jonathan Chan of TSN. When asked about his ongoing rivalry with Adam Copeland, Cage spoke about where the underlying resentment comes from.
“I chose to come to AEW when I returned, and Adam probably looked over and saw the success that I was having, the responses that I’m receiving, the flowers that I’m getting for my work, and that doesn’t sit well with him,” Christian Cage said. “He doesn’t like the fact that I’m a bigger star than him at this point, and so he came over here, and he’s trying to steal my spotlight like he always has.”
No time to waste for Christian Cage
When asked about the run he’s currently having after so many years away from the ring; Cage said he believes he’s in his prime and has no time to waste at his age.
“My career was taken away from me; there’s no secret about that, and it was a gift to get it back,” Christian Cage admitted. “It wasn’t good enough for me just to get it back. I had seven years of lost time to make up for, and I’m proving that age is just a number at this point. I feel like I’m in my prime, and I just turned 50 years old. Nobody is doing it like I am at this age.
“I’m an anomaly, and that’s just how it is. It’s a confidence thing. There’s no time to waste now, whereas before, at a younger age, you take something for granted, and now I realize how fast this can be gone. The window is only open for a short amount of time, and I wanted to come back and prove that I am one of the best, if not the best, to ever do it.”
