Former Chairwoman of TNA/IMPACT Wrestling, Dixie Carter, has recently applauded Christian Cage for his IMPACT World Championship victory over Kenny Omega in the debut episode of AEW Rampage.
On Twitter, Carter took a trip down memory lane and noted that she hated losing Christian to WWE back in the day. The former TNA president expressed her joy over his latest world title win and gave props to AEW's higher-ups for showcasing the cross-promotional match.
"This makes me very happy. I will never forget how special it was when @Christian4Peeps 1st became @IMPACTWRESTLING World Champ. I always hated losing him to @wwe. Welcome home Christian & massive props to @AEW for allowing these type of matches to happen. #makingwrestlingfunagain," Dixie Carter stated.
Christian Cage had a short yet fruitful first stint with TNA/IMPACT Wrestling, where he held the NWA World Heavyweight Champion twice. He engaged in several star-making rivalries against the likes of Kurt Angle, Sting, and Samoa Joe.
Now that the opening of the forbidden door is in full effect, fans can expect the former WWE superstar to make weekly appearances on IMPACT Wrestling.
Christian Cage already has a challenger awaiting him in the form of Brian Myers, who recently won a Battle Royale to become the #1 contender for the world title.
He will get his opportunity to challenge Christian at the upcoming Emergence event.
