Christian’s days in the ring appear to be officially over, according to his Superstar profile at WWE.com. His bio has been moved to the Alumni section and has been updated with the following description:
“Upon realizing the honor of inducting his longtime friend and former partner, Edge, into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2012, Christian confessed to experiencing a “moment of clarity” that reset his own career goals. He returned from injury at WWE Over the Limit 2012 and won a Battle Royal and a match with Cody Rhodes to claim the Intercontinental Championship for the fourth time.
His reign ended on Raw 1,000, and Christian was out of action for nearly a year with a shoulder injury. He returned in June 2013, once again poised to win the World Heavyweight Championship. Although he never regain the title, he solidified his legacy and left active competition still at the top of his game.”
The former World Heavyweight champion has been out of action since suffering a concussion last year. He appeared on the Stone Cold Podcast with his childhood friend Edge, but did not make an official statement on his in-ring future during that interview.
