Christian made his AEW debut and signed with the company Sunday. Talent on the WWE side told us they weren't aware for sure of the signing, but had their suspicions considering he was absent from programming since the Royal Rumble. Higher ups in WWE told Fightful that Christian not being referenced on WWE TV wasn't a coincidence and that while they were let down that Christian made the move, it was on the company for not having a contract locked down.

One talent we heard back from spoke highly of Christian as a person, and said that if it makes him happy, they're happy for him.

Contrary to the segment where Paul Wight indicated that Tony Khan, he and Christian were the only ones who knew, we're told that several talent in AEW were aware but kept it a tight lipped secret.

Ha, I would exclude Mox (jokingly of course) because he said he would've loved to see Christian in AEW in a recent interview and then it happened.

I'm happy for the guy if he's happy doesn't matter what others think. I am surprised WWE let him slip but is what it is. Just wish his signing wasn't overhyped the way it is, you can blame some of it on the fans sure but TK and AEW must share some of it as well with the way they were hyping it as well.

I do wonder if this is the last time we see any surprises in a royal rumble match? Or at least, if they bring in a veteran or a surprise, they have some kind of clause they can't go to AEW or another promotion for 3 months or something. You would think after the Rick Rude fiasco, they would be a lot more careful with who they put on TV. Then again, with all the WWE shows having so many last minute changes, maybe it was destined to happen?
