What do you remember about the 15 June 2020 edition of Raw? Seems like a lifetime ago, doesn't it? If anything, only a handful of wrestling fans (at best) would recall that Christian met Randy Orton in an "Unsanctioned Match" on that show.

That changed everything.

Cage was horrified when doctors informed him that he couldn't really do anything physical at all during the brawl. Having to be so careful left him cold, so he decided to quietly book an appointment at the University Of South Florida Concussion Centre; Christian didn't tell anyone about that on the off chance it'd lead to disappointment.

He attended the clinic a few weeks after the Orton bit, and was delighted when docs said he'd passed every concussion test with flying colours. Overnight, Cage went from literally untouchable to full-time wrestler again. Despite that great news, he kept things on the down low and knew the hard work was about to start.
