AFTER THE BELL WITH COREY GRAVES 05/14/20: CHRISTIAN
Christian on his loss of confidence after splitting up his tag team with Edge: "When I stepped away, I very much had the mind set of still being a tag team guy. When I was trying to envision matches and put these things together, I still pretty much thought that way. I put a lot of pressure on myself, maybe too much pressure. I was having a hard time adjusting. I was not confident. Once your confidence goes away, it's tough, it's really tough. I saw myself as a singles guy. I had a big opportunity with the Intercontinental Championship. I think back to when Edge and I split up, I don't think I did myself any favors by not really changing the Christian part of Edge and Christian. I still came out as the guy that looked like Christian from Edge and Christian. I missed an opportunity there to change that part of me and be different and be accepted as something different outside of that. It also becomes one of those things with there is too many cooks in the kitchen. I was asking and listening to a lot of it instead of listening to my instincts and I had good instincts, but I forgot to listen to them. People would be giving me advise instead of taking the pieces I thought I could use and apply them, I was trying to do everything, I tried this, I tried that, and not that it was bad advice, but it might not have been the right advise for something in this instance, but it might work down the road...I was not having fun and I was not happy. I went home one day, looked in the mirror and said, this is it. If you don't figure this out, you're going to get fired. That's the worst that's going to happen to you...I have nothing to lose, so I'm going to listen to myself. I know I can do this. I know my instincts are good. I have instincts for this. I would still take advise and say thank you, but I started trusting my instincts. It all turned around quickly and I got my confidence back."
