there are alot of factors to be considered here...
WHEN will he be back? Before or after TNA folds?
HOW bad will he be jobbed out when he does come back, and will he suck it up and take it like a man (much like HHH did when he screwed up)?
I give it one year...and by then he'll either be back in the WWE, or out of wrestling, contemplating his future in the business...

Although I hate saying it, I also think that TNA will probably fold. I'm not sure when, but I think that most of the guys who can get a WWE contract will take them. Why wouldn't they? It pays better and it's the major leagues of wrestling... even if it does completely suck these days.

A little off the topic...why did Christian leave WWE?
Was it on bad terms?

Was it on bad terms? not really. maybe bitter terms but not bad terms. he felt like he wasn't being pushed properly despite being one half of the greatest tag team in WWF/WWE history, and multiple time I-C Champion... they offered him a deal and he turned it down to go to TNA. He wasn't thinking. |

I don't think he will return to WWE . Could he trust Vince ? . Would he go any higher than what he was when he left ? . It wasn't just about the big belt . Also the schedule in the WWE is harder . Hardly every get to home etc .

Unless TNA is stupid, broke or just plain folds, I think Christian will stay in where he is. I can only imagine that he's happy because he can wrestle, be the champ, and still be close enough to home so he can spend more time with his family. How can you blame a guy for staying with a company that is based relatively close to where he lives so he can spend more time with his family? Then again, Vince has found a way to bring back stars I though would never re-sign.

I don't know how anyone could second guess Christian's decision without standing in his shoes. It's obvious that he jumped to TNA for reasons other than earning the big bucks and being on prime time TV. If it makes a guy happy to leave his job at Microsoft to work in the Wal-Mart electronics department, I say more power to him. Happiness can't always be measured in dollars and cents, or fame. Maybe he really liked what he saw in TNA and wanted to help them out... which is respectable. I always respected the ECW wrestlers who turned down high dollar contracts to work for WWE and WCW... and I could certainly respect someone for taking a cut in pay to go work at a more minor league promotion when they could have kept their high paying job.

Eh, he'll be back, sooner or later...
And how he left can't be held against him...the last week he was there, he worked Raw, SD! and offered to work Taboo Tuesday if he was voted into the match.
As far as how he was used in the past...if he was still getting a push, or even a real storyline, he might not have felt like he needed to leave...but starting with Week 2 of his jump to Smackdown, he was relegated almost exclusively to talk show segments in which he often barely got a word in, and a hodge-podge tag feud with Booker T against the Mexicools.

I think he will return to WWE, but not for a long time. If/when TNA folds, it'll still be awhile. He'll work indy shows for awhile before coming back.
And if does return, I wouldn't rule out a "Kiss My A$$ Club" segment. I hope not, but let's be realistic, Vince couldn't pass it up.

But truthfully, do you blame Christian for leaving!?
You got a sucker in Dixie Carter who'll throw away nearly the same amount of $$$ his way, but it's 10x less travel, 10x less politics and only wrestle a few times a month.
Plus, he's rumored to want to get into acting (insert wrestler's trying to be actor joke here), but this gives him the opportunity to try it out.
Who knows if TNA will ever fold. If they keep finding suckers to throw $$$$$$ their way, they may never fold.

Since he's filming a movie right now, and said on TV that he's always wanted to be an actor, I think you can call it more than a rumor...=)

Will Vince take him back? - Yes, of course. He is Captain Charisma.
Will Christian ever wrestle in the WWE again? - Why should he?

Hey, I am a TNA fan...I watch it every week, and sometimes even get the PPVs (when money allows)...
But they take a step back...at LEAST...for every step forward.

Christian was definately very smart in leaving WWE on good terms...and not going the Shane Douglas route. I'm sure we may see him back some day, but for now I think he is a happy guy. Sure he turned down more money, but he can certainly get more of what he wants out of life with TNA. I say, good for him. |
