5. Christian Returns

It was reported immediately after Christian's Royal Rumble 2021 return that the newly-cleared Captain Charisma would be working more dates for WWE going forward. Having seemingly struck some kind of part-time deal with the promotion, it looks like Christian was back back, not just swinging by for nostalgic Rumble moments with Edge.

Christian has kept things ambiguous since then. While Big E teases a potential Intercontinental Title match, the former champion says he wants to team with Edge again, while casting doubt on future appearances. He knows what he's doing, the cheeky scamp, and the work he's putting in now is building hype for whatever comes next.

A WrestleMania match shouldn't be ruled out entirely - he'd certainly make a great big-name opponent for E - but Christian will likely return regardless. He was the biggest pure surprise in the Rumble and his run went over well. After last year's non-match with Randy Orton (an excellent angle, if not a bout), it'd be great to see him lacing up the boots again, running in tandem with The Rated R Superstar's own comeback story.
