Did you know time: Christian and old Tough Enough rookie Christopher Nowinski used to travel together when they were both in WWE. They remained good friends even when Nowinski decided to hang up the tights, and that's how Cage met AEW chief Tony Khan in the first place.

Small world.

Chris had arranged to meet Christian at his hotel when WWE were in town so they could go out and grab a bite to eat. Over the phone, he asked if he could bring another friend with him, and Cage said that was fine. That mate turned out to be future AEW boss Khan.

Tony proceeded to passionately detail parts of Christian's own career that even he had forgotten about. Cage told Renée that Khan's love of pro wrestling stuck with him after they had lunch. Bastard wouldn't let him become the first Canadian President of the Jacksonville Jaguars though.

Maybe someday, eh?
