Christian Cage calls AEW ‘the greatest run’ of his career
Christian Cage says the last few years have been the greatest in his career.
Cage debuted for AEW at Revolution on March 7, 2021. Since then, he’s won the TNT title twice, the Trios title once, and defeated Kenny Omega for the Impact World Championship. During a recent interview with Yahoo Sports, Cage said it’s been the best run he’s ever had.
“This is, without a doubt, the greatest, the best run,” Cage said.
“Did I see it happening this late? No, but it did. And like I said, when I got my career back after being gone for seven years, I wasn’t coming back to do the greatest hits tour. I was coming back to be the best. And that’s the kind of standards that I hold myself to. Anything less than that, you would not see me step foot in that ring.”
Earlier in the interview, Cage spoke about being the leader of the Patriarchy and the line he said to Jack Perry which kicked off the story, saying he had no clue it would go as viral as it did.
“No, I had no clue,” Cage said. “It was a deeply personal line, and I was expecting a reaction. I don’t know if I expected it to go as viral as it did. And when something like that happens you have to jump on it.”
Christian is now scheduled to team with Adam Copeland against FTR at AEW All Out in their hometown of Toronto. He says that even though he and Copeland have agreed to help each other with their respective rivalries, his focus is still on winning the AEW World Championship.
“Cope and I agreed to help each other with our issues. Part of the agreement was we’ll get through this, and there’s no promises beyond that,” Cage said.
“We’ll see where we get to at the end of this. For me as well, at the end of the day, I love collecting titles, I love collecting gold. So in any form of that, I’ll always welcome, always accept that challenge. But at the end of the day, I still want my name in the books as the AEW world champ by the time it’s all said and done.”
