Bio

Christian is smug, extremely confident, and believes his very presence is a gift to sports-entertainment fans everywhere. Truth be told, he is a nine-time World Tag Team Champion and three-time Intercontinental Champion, and he won a championship in his very first WWE match. The date was Oct. 18, 1998, at the Judgment Day pay-per-view, where this long-haired, black-clad member of the faction known as the Brood beat Taka Michinoku for the Light Heavyweight Championship.

Not long after, Christian and Edge would form what would become one of the most successful and most outlandish tag teams in WWE history.

Together they won the World Tag Team Championship on seven separate occasions. He’d later add two more tag championship reigns, one with Lance Storm and another with Chris Jericho.

Together, Edge and Christian were masters of the “Conchairto”—sandwiching an opponent’s head between two steel chairs. The chair was their signature weapon; the Hardy Boyz were famous for flying off ladders, and the Dudleys were synonymous with tables. When the three clashed, TLC (Tables, Ladders, and Chairs) was born.

The always-outrageous Christian would soon break out on his own, going on to win numerous titles throughout his career, both as a singles and tag team competitor.

And over the years, the WWE Universe came to form a great respect for the word-wielding warrior, a feeling he would truly embrace. He even nicknamed his fans the “Peeps” and created the highly entertaining “The Peep Show” in their honor.

However, perhaps none of his achievements was as extraordinary as when Christian fulfilled a lifelong dream in a brutal Ladder Match with Alberto Del Rio at Extreme Rules 2011, capturing his first-ever World Heavyweight Championship.

This monumental milestone propelled him to the spotlight and notoriety as one of the greatest competitors in the history of the squared circle.

Breakdown

He’s not the most powerful Superstar on the roster, but Christian is solid in every other category. He boasts an 85 rating or above in eight of 12 categories, which makes his 87 Overall rating a little deceiving.

Add in the five assigned abilities he comes with (including the super-valuable Resiliency) and you’ve got a lot of tools to employ. When you get a Signature move or Finisher, Irish Whip your opponent in the corner, because three of your moves happen there.

Go to work with the Spear as a Finisher and it’s lights out.
