WWE Raw Announce Team Calls Christian “Retired”, Edge Wears WWE NXT Champion’s T-Shirt on Raw

December 29, 2014

Tonight’s WWE Raw broadcast kicked off with show hosts Edge and Christian.

During the opening segment, Jerry Lawler referred to Christian as “retired.” Although WWE has not made an official announcement regarding Christian’s in-ring status, the feeling for quite sometime has been he’s done as an in-ring performer as a result of numerous injuries.

Furthermore, during the opening Raw segment, Paul Heyman noted Christian can’t wrestle anymore because he’s suffered too many concussions.

In related news, WWE Hall of Famer Edge was sporting a Sami Zayn t-shirt on Raw tonight, showing his support for the current NXT Champion.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.
