"He's killing it" - Top RAW Superstar heaps praise on AEW's Christian Cage
Former United States Champion Sheamus recently shared his thoughts on Christian Cage's return to in-ring action in AEW, saying that the IMPACT Wrestling World Champion is "killing it."
The WWE Legend's stint in AEW has impressed many of his former colleagues, with Sheamus being one of them. Speaking to Fightful, The Celtic Warrior stated that it's "unbelievable" what Christian is doing inside the squared circle despite staying away from the business for more than seven years.
Citing the AEW star's case, Sheamus said that age is just a number, and it's all about the passion one has for their craft. Furthermore, the former WWE Champion said remaining dedicated is the key to longevity in the wrestling business.
"Yeah, look at (Christian). He’s killing it as well. It’s unbelievable. Age is just a number, man. It’s not about the age; it’s not about the numbers. It’s about what’s in here [gestures to heart] type of thing. It’s all about what’s in here, all about the passion you have and everything that goes with it. That’s what really matters. People put stuff on age, but the way we are, top athletes, top stars are performing to a later age. You have to put the hard work in, you have to stay dedicated, you know what I mean? You can’t take the foot off the gas. The rewards of that are continuing to do what you love to do," said Sheamus.
Sheamus himself is an example of "age being just a number" since he's arguably doing the best work of his career currently, despite being 43.
Christian Cage will wrestle the biggest match of his AEW career at All Out 2021
Going by what Sheamus and others have to say about Christian Cage, there's no arguing that the AEW star is currently doing some of the best work of his in-ring career. However, his biggest test will be at All Out 2021, where he'll challenge Kenny Omega for the AEW Championship.
Though Christian Cage recently handed Omega his first singles loss in nearly two years on AEW Rampage's debut episode, it'll not be an easy task to take down The Cleaner at a stage like All Out.
