Backstage Update on Christian’s In-Ring Status, Is He Really Retired?, News on His Current WWE Contract

December 29, 2014

As we noted earlier tonight, Jerry Lawler announced on Raw tonight that Christian is retired from in-ring action in WWE, and PWInsider.com has confirmed this was not an error.

Due to a string of injuries and concussions, WWE officials now consider Christian to be retired from in-ring action.

In related news, Christian has about a year left on his current WWE contract.

Paglino: It doesn’t surprise me that both Christian and Edge’s careers have been cut short due to injury, as the two put their bodies on the line in such an extreme way for so long.

All I can say is I wish the very best for Christian, and thank him and Edge for putting their lives on the line to entertain us for so long.
