As he prepares for another tag team title match, this time in AEW, WWE chose to acknowledge him in their recent video.

WWE posted a "25 Greatest SummerSlam Matches Ever" marathon on YouTube ahead of SummerSlam 2025, and Christian Cage has found his way on the latest video. WWE ranked his match against Randy Orton at SummerSlam in 2011 at the 20th spot.

The contest was a No Holds Barred match that saw Christian enter as the defending World Heavyweight Champion against The Viper.

The match saw both wrestlers make full use of the stipulation, and it ended when Orton delivered an RKO to Christian on the steel steps after catching him mid-air off a springboard attempt.

Both wrestlers had an intense rivalry that year that saw them exchange wins and the title.

Christian would stay with WWE for nearly a decade and donned various roles, including being a host for his WWE Network show alongside his former tag team partner Edge, called The Edge and Christian Show That Totally Reeks of Awesomeness.

Christian Cage's last WWE appearance

Following a concussion, Christian would make sporadic WWE appearances, often in non-wrestling roles. However, he appeared as a surprise entrant in the 2021 Royal Rumble match, entering at number 24.

He briefly united with Edge before being eliminated by Seth Rollins. This remains Christian's last competitive WWE appearance.

Christian Cage signed with AEW in 2021 and has formed a stable by the name of Patriarchy. This weekend, he will team up with Nick Wayne as they attempt to win the AEW World Tag Team Championship in a Three-way match at the All In: Texas PPV.
