#5 Christian Cage wants to end his career on his terms
Christian Cage has had a legendary wrestling career starting all the way back in 1994. He has wrestled for several wrestling promotions including TNA, NJPW, and most notably, WWE. However, wrestling for decades did take a toll on his body, especially because of his high-flying and risk-taking style.
Due to multiple concussions and other injuries, Christian Cage officially announced his in-ring retirement in 2015. He did not really get any proper farewell match and his in-ring career ended pretty abruptly and not in a great way.
Earlier this year, Christian Cage made his in-ring return and appeared in the 2021 WWE men's Royal Rumble match. He clearly proved that there's still some gas left in him and signing with AEW could just be him wanting to end his career on his own terms.
