Comme nous l’a rapporté Pierre-Luc ce dimanche, la venue et la signature du lutteur Christian Cage ont été l’une des plus grosses surprises de l’événement AEW Revolution.
La compagnie a confirmé qu’elle avait signé The Captain Charisma pour plusieurs années. On ne connaît malheureusement pas la durée exacte. Il parlera pour la première fois au prochain épisode de Dynamite ce mercredi.
Christian a été l’invité de la récente édition du podcast Oral Sessions de Renee Paquette où il a pu s’exprimer sur sa décision de rejoindre la AEW. Il a révélé qu’il voulait explorer toutes les options qui s’offraient à lui après avoir été autorisé à remonter sur le ring de nouveau avec Jon Moxley, le convaincant de converser avec Tony Khan. Tout est allé très rapidement ensuite.
“On Wednesday [March 3], there was nothing signed. It was a shock to me when I heard [Paul Wight’s announcement]. Obviously, Tony [Khan] and I hit it off pretty quick and we felt comfortable enough that we were going to work together. I wasn’t sure I was going to go (to AEW after the Rumble) and all the talks I had (with WWE) were very cordial. [Jon Moxley] talked to me and had his opinions and made me think, ‘Okay, I’m doing myself a disservice if I don’t at least explore my options.’ At this final stage of my career, I had a conversation with Tony and it escalated very quickly. Within a week, it was a done deal.”
Christian a déclaré qu’il a trouvé difficile de prendre la décision de quitter la WWE, mais il croit que la AEW est la meilleure option pour lui actuellement. Il s’est exprimé également sur la manière dont il était enchanté d’aider la nouvelle génération de lutteurs.
“Of course. Anytime there is a life-altering decision, there is a lot of thought. I didn’t have a lot of time to think about this but what I really needed was the best platform for me — I got a second lease on life here to showcase (myself) but also help. Where could I help the next generation? That’s what I felt at AEW. In my initial talks with Tony, the first conversation we had, we talked for two hours. From that initial conversation I was like, ‘Man, I didn’t think it would go that well.’ It came together pretty quickly after that. We hit it off, we had the same feeling as far as where he saw me and what I could bring to the table and how I could help the roster and the show. That was intriguing to me and I like a challenge. It wasn’t an easy decision, but it also wasn’t a hard decision. There was something intriguing about being able to be hands-on with everything and having that challenge. It felt like the right situation. There’s nothing wrong with WWE and how they do things.”
