Now four years into his time with AEW, Christian Cage believes that this current run is the very best run of his career.

Speaking to Yahoo Sports' Uncrowned, the former two-time AEW TNT Champion enthused:

"This is, without a doubt, the greatest, the best run. Did I see it happening this late? No, but it did. And like I said, when I got my career back after being gone for seven years, I wasn't coming back to do the greatest hits tour. I was coming back to be the best. And that's the kind of standards that I hold myself to. Anything less than that, you would not see me step foot in that ring."

In a wide-ranging interview, Christian praised the creative freedom in AEW, especially the promos, and how he's able to go out there and say 100% his own words - and that, due to it being his own material, it's then totally his responsibility to make sure those words connect with the audience.

Cage also detailed how he's still got the AEW World Championship on his mind, and that he wants to have held that title "by the time it's all said and done" with his career. Of course, right now, the attention is all on Christian Cage and Adam Copeland's reunion, with their upcoming match against FTR at All Out later this month set to be the first time ever that Cage and Cope have teamed together in Canada on PPV in a straight-up tag team bout. Yes, that stat sounds impossible, but the closest the one-time Edge and Christian ever got to a standard two-vs-two match on a Canadian PPV was back in December 1998, at WWE In Your House 26: Rock Bottom at Vancouver's General Motors Place, where they teamed with fellow Brood man Gangrel to pick up a win over the JOB Squad's Al Snow, Bob Holly, and 2 Cold Scorpio.

When looking back at the career of Christian Cage, he's been part of one of the greatest, most revolutionary tag teams of the modern era, he's had major singles success as either a heel or a babyface - including being a two-time WWE World Champion, a two-time NWA World's Heavyweight Champion, and a one-time TNA World Champion - and has long been known as one of the very best in-ring workers of his generation. So, for Cage to say that his current AEW run is the best of his storied career, that's quite the statement and quite the praise for how much he's enjoying himself these days.
