During a recent appearance on the “Swerve City Podcast,” AEW wrestler Christian Cage discussed his return to the ring after previously retiring due to concussion-related injuries.
Christian made his surprise debut for AEW and signed a multi-year contract at AEW Revolution on March 7, 2021.
Cage wrestled his debut match for AEW on the March 31st episode of Dynamite, defeating Frankie Kazarian, in what was Christian’s first official singles match in seven years.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On coming out of retirement: “Me coming back from being retired, it’s huge. It’s like a gift. I’m back and able to close this chapter on my own instead of being told it’s done. For me, I just want to do quality work. Whether it’s promos or in the ring. I’m very confident and okay and content with who I am as a performer and where I’ve been and where I’m going. Wherever I am on the show, I just do my best to make that segment entertaining and great, and I try not to do too much more.”
On wanting to do quality work: “I just want to do quality work. During the pandemic, everything I was working on, on the side, kind of dried up and went away. I need something to work towards. I built a gym in my garage and just started working out there. From that, it snowballed. I learned a lot about diet and exercise. From that, I was introduced to some really good business friends and we came up with this concept for an exercise piece of equipment. It will be announced in a couple of months. Started an exercise company. Really looking forward to that.”
