Fake a Firing

With all the recent releases by WWE, an interesting idea came up. WWE should supposedly release someone only to bring them back at the Royal Rumble. The likely conclusion being they win the rumble. This idea came about from the actual release of MVP. Obviously if he was willing to come back and get this push, I’d welcome it. Assuming he won’t though, I see a great candidate in Christian. This would work for multiple reasons.

First, Christian is injured so he’s already out of action. He won’t miss any TV time. He has tweeted that he will be able to return around the Rumble. Many fans would love to see him back then. A simple return was done by Edge last year and the fans loved it. I see no reason it wouldn’t work with Christian. Adding the fake firing would make it that much more epic.

Next, a return from a firing helps create a star. I was at Summer Slam. When Cena said the mystery partner was Daniel Bryan I was amazed. Bryan was supposed to be gone. If the return can be kept secret, every fan will be standing in the arena and those at home will have their jaws drop. The fact the WWE would bring a superstar back after termination makes the fans think he has talent.

His former tag partner Edge is in the title hunt. An Edge vs. Christian match at Wrestlemania would be epic. Every fan would want to see this, even if it isn’t for the belt. Add the world title and it’s an instant selling point.

Both the firing and return would generate a huge buzz on the internet. People would be talking about it until the Rumble. When lesser stars are released there is a buzz. Someone of Christian’s caliber would generate discussion bigger than when Miz won the title. Raw and Smackdown after his return would guarantee huge ratings. It would be a huge talking point and watching point.

Finally, Christian has always been over with fans. Winning the Rumble and a title would do wonders for his career and bring another person to the top tier. Top tier stars are lacking now and having more would never hurt. This could finally be Christian’s time and this angle, if done properly, could turn out amazing.
