Edge and Christian vs. the Hardy Boyz in a Ladder Match at No Mercy 1999; the match would put both teams on the map, and is still considered one of the best ladder matches of all time. It got a standing ovation on the night, and on the next night's episode of Raw.
Anytime "Edge and Christian", "HardyBoyz", and "Dudley Boyz" showed up together on the match card, it was guaranteed awesome. Especially when the teams' signature weapons (chairs, ladders, and tables respectively) are involved.
When the WWE started using the "Captain Charisma" nickname, they were sent a cease and desist letter by a wrestler who already had the trademark on that phrase. Six or so months later, we find that the owner of that trademark was Christian himself, legally watching his back. Similarly, he trademarked the name "Christian Cage" before WWE had a chance to claim the name "Christian," meaning that unlike some other transplants (including WWE tag team rivals the Dudleyz), he got to keep his name in TNA.
His ladder match for the ECW championship against Shelton Benjamin at TLC.
Extreme Rules 2011: He defeated Alberto Del Rio for the World Heavyweight Championship, which Edge vacated several weeks before due to his retirement. This is Christian's first World title in WWE, and it doubles as a heartwarming moment with Edge helping him get the win then celebrating with him.
This makes him the eleventh Grand Slam Champion. This allows him to subvert Breakup Breakout, since it's the one feat Edge has never managed and never will be able to.
Despite the outcome of the matches, both of his World Heavyweight Championship matches against Randy Orton were two of the best matches of 2011 so far.
His Batman Gambit at Money in the Bank has led to the recapture of the WHC title.
Over the Limit 2012: He's Back!, and he wins the People Power Battle Royal to become the number one contender for the U.S. Championship, or the Intercontinental Championship. Initially, he chooses to face Santino Marella for the U.S. Championship, but changes his mind after he overhears Cody Rhodes insulting him backstage. The match ends with a devastating Killswitch from Christian, as he captures the IC Title for the fourth time.
June 28, 2013: Christian and the Usos take on The Shield in a six man tag match, and Christian scores the victory with a spear to Dean Ambrose, making it the second time the Shield was beaten as a team. For context, the only other people that had done it were Daniel Bryan, Kane, and Randy Orton.
And on then he appeared on Raw the next night, becoming the first man to appear on a TNA & WWE broadcast in the span of 24 hours, and appeared on SmackDown the Friday before as well.
Christian made his first official post-retirement in-ring appearance during the 2021 Royal Rumble, entering at number 24. But the cherry on the top of this is that his long-time partner Edge was also participating. After the initial chaos after his entrance quelled, the two sought each other out and embraced in the middle of the ring.
Just two months after his in-ring return in WWE, instead of staying with his long time buddy, Edge, Christian move on to All Elite Wrestling, returning as Christian Cage for the first time in fifteen years.
Christian Cage makes history on the very first episode of AEW Rampage. Since his debut, Cage has been undefeated and took on several opponents including his decade long rival, Matt Hardy. Now facing Kenny Omega for the Impact World Championship, Cage throws everything in his arsenal onto Omega and even survives a low blow. Deciding to play dirty as usual, Don Callis has the referee distracted, allowing the Young Bucks to slip a steel chair into the ring. Cage however immediately reverses Omega's One-Winged Angel into a Kill Switch onto the chair, allowing Cage to win the match and his first world title in ten years.
His participation in the Falls Count Anywhere 3 on 3 match between him and Jurassic Express against the Superkliq (The Young Bucks and Adam Cole) at Full Gear 2021. A wild and crazy brawl that went everywhere in the packed arena, Christian's personal highlight was probably when he and Nick Jackson fought up into the crowd and, after fending off both Jackson and the Bucks' stooge Brandon Cutler, Christian ascended to the level above them and dived off the top of the arena's exit tunnel onto them, wiping them both out. At the end of the match, his tutelage of Jungle Boy paid off when the young star stopped Christian from finishing Matt Jackson with a solo Con-Chair-To, finally finding the steel in himself to take the chair and do it himself while Christian looked on proudly. The match earned a 5-star rating from Dave Meltzer, who hailed it as the greatest Falls Count Anywhere match he'd ever seen, giving Christian his first ever 5-star match after more than 25 years of wrestling.
