Most fans will agree that Edge and Christian were one of the most legendary tag teams in the history of the business, and together they managed to win championship gold as they established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the tag team division.
After they split up Edge and Christian both managed to find success as singles competitors, but Edge went on to become the bigger star out of the duo, and during an episode of Grilling JR Jim Ross explained why he thinks Christian didn’t connect with the audience the way that Edge did.
“I always thought Edge was going to be a breakout star because he connected with the audience. [Christian] was always the clear number two on that team. I was glad they both got their opportunity to grow on their own, but I always thought that Edge had a little bit of a leg up in that scenario. That does not mean by any stretch of the imagination that Christian wasn’t a great hand.
The match that he had with Kenny Omega in AEW was outstanding. He still is a hell of a worker, he’s always been a hell of a worker, but he just didn’t quite have that connectable charisma that Edge had. It’s not a knock on Christian whatsoever, just [Edge] had a specialness about him and I’m happy he’s back in the game at a schedule he can manage and take care of his health.”
