Following his surprise return in the 30-man Royal Rumble match at Sunday night's WWE Royal Rumble 2021 pay-per-view, Christian spoke with Alyse Ashton in an immediate post-match interview backstage at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida.
During the discussion, "Captain Charisma" spoke about returning to the ring after so long, his friend Edge winning this year's 30-man Royal Rumble match and more.
Featured below are some of the highlights, as well as a complete video archive of the post-Royal Rumble backstage interview with Christian.
On being back in the ring after so long: "It was a little surreal, to be honest. I didn’t know what to expect, but it’s funny… they say everybody has a plan until they get hit, that’s kinda the case here. I kinda had a vision of what was gonna happen, I got hit once and I go, alright, it’s on. But it felt good. I mean, this is what I was born to do so, it felt like being home."
On being back in the WWE locker room: "It was good, nobody knew what was happening, so I was just kind of playing coy all day. It was a fun surprise."
On Edge going on to win the Royal Rumble match: “If I couldn’t win it, I’m glad he did. I’ll put it that way."
