Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think no compete clauses happen when a contract expires. I'm pretty sure they're for when wrestlers are fired. nope because Flair had the 90-day no compete clause, and WWE never fired him, his contract just expired. Flair and WWE mutually agreed to part ways. Therefore he had a 90 day no compete clause. His contract never expired. |

This is the absolute most perfect time for him to return. Think about it - it's Jeff, Matt, Edge, Christian. These guys all had a similar run during the attitude era, they all were brought up together as the young low-card wrestlers, they formed two of the most recognized tag teams of the recent era, and now all the pieces of the puzzle are back together. Jeff was let go and went to TNA. Christian left for TNA. And let's not forget that Matt Hardy was gone for a little while too. So for one point in time it was just Edge who remained. If Christian does return all 4 of these guys are in the company. There is renewed interest in a match because they have established themselves on a much higher level. Matt Hardy is the only questionable one but even he is ECW champ...and my idea for when this feud would end would have Matt get the start of a main event push, a new look, and a brand new heel attitude to make him a true star.
[How I would book it:]
Christian could come back at the Rumble, then he and Edge could reveal themselves to be in a partnership once again. They beat Miz and Morrison for the tag belts at No Way Out (brand split limitations a part of the storyline, read further). Matt and Jeff win the tag belts around this time too. The two teams face off in a TLC match to unify the tag team championship into the Undisputed Tag Team Championship - a brandless title made in the interest of all tag teams on every brand. Now we have a blockbuster match for a very important, larger than usual Wrestlemania, and the tag team titles now have a renewed interest and a cross-brand title that can make the tag division, you know, good again. Matt turns heel on Jeff, gets the 'short tights' treatment and cuts his hair some, and there you go - a star, new tag belts, tag division rebirth, and one hell of a main attraction at WM25.

I wonder if he has a no compete clause... That's only if he gets released from his contract, but his contract expired, just like his WWE contract expired and like 2 weeks later he was at a TNA PPV. Once their contract expires they have absolutely no obligations to the company. |

Why is everybody making such a big deal about Christian? He was a mid-carder in the WWE who's gimmick was that he threw temper tantrums because he couldn't win any matches.....and that one time the Dudley Boyz stole his suitcase and it had a jar of anal lube in it. Then he quits and goes to TNA which is a company full of jobbers, and Sting, and has a little bit of success 2 years ago right off the bat, and has since fell back down to mid-card...but he's gonna be a big deal in WWE JUST for the sole reason that he's been gone for 3 years? Sorry, I don't buy it, he's still a mid-carder to me. Christian was entertaining as hell before he left WWE. He was getting pops even as a heel. He got a better reaction than Cena, which was before Cena started to get booed constantly. Christian said himself that he was moved to Smackdown because he was getting a better reaction than Cena. Then he went to TNA and got a push to the top, and was entertaining doing that too, putting on a bunch of damn good matches. Recently in TNA though he sort of got lost in the shuffle, but I have missed him in WWE, which is why I'm pumped to see him hopefully coming back. |

I wouldn't mind that happening, but the thing is, whoever won the match would likely lose the titles shortly after Mania, since they are all pretty much above the tag titles at this point. But from a nostalgic point of view it would be awesome. |

That'd be pretty awkward if they had no compete clauses for contract expirations. "Your obligations to our company will be done on January 2nd 2009, however, you are obligated to not be obligated to another company until we  ing say." |

I wonder if he has a no compete clause... Even if he did, no-compete clauses don't mean anything if your contract simply expires. |

Here is how I'd book it.
Christian comes back saying he signed with Shane and wwe on raw in a surprise. Then he says however I didn't sign a brand contract. Therefore Teddy long, Vickie Guerrero, and Stephanie McMahon have too compete for his contract. They all offer him world title matches. Edge calls for him too come too smackdown. Matt calls for him too ECW saying he can't beat the new Matt. Then Cena says he can't beat him and he never will. Christian says he'll announce it after the rumble. He ends up winning the rumble and Edge wins the title. Christian says he wants too go too raw. But he hears Edge saying its a good thing you'd never beat me. Well that has Christian get angry and he goes too Smackdown. Christian loses at Mania but says Vickie promised him 2 title matches if he came too smackdown. Edge glares at Vickie. Christian then says she also made it so its my rules. He then says remember how you said you never lost a TLC match? Well you've actually lost 2 times. I've lost 2 times. Well combined you and I have been in every TLC. However we've never competed against eachother I have the second most wins. However that is because you've been in more. I bet if we faced eachother it'd be a match for the history books. Christian winning the WWE title would make history. Christian returning made history. I'm all about History and at the next PPV history will be made as I win the wwe championship(He says it in 3rd person on purpouse.)

Finally something to get me back interested in the WWE! OMGSH I'm so excited and with Tomko there it's all amazing. I'm thinking about an Edge, Christian & Tomko alliance. Tomko will play the Bam Neely role that he played with Edge/Chavo. Who cares about my idea. Now we can have E&C vs The Hardyz!!!!!!!!!!!!! Christian to the WWE- check MCMG to the WWE- pending  |

Yes, because, if the rumors are correct and the WWE wants to make Christian the guy that took Hardy out before Survivor Series, they're just going to post on their site that he signed a contract, and ruin the surprise. Idiot. haha amazing. i'm looking forward to christians return. |

Such a shame, he'd have done better in TNA with this whole Front Line/MEM thing than he'll do in WWE (where he'll return and then get locked in the mid-card box in Vince's cellar after two months). Most likely. I'm still not relying on anything but my eyes though. When he shows up on Raw/SD or iMPACT! we'll know. Stop with the threads already. |
