Has been in 5 multi-man matches since then, with the last one on December 29. Wonder if he is "banged up" or something or AEW is just not using him? I guess it's only been like a month and a half since he last wrestled so not so long to speculate about an injury

Feel like Khan maybe paid him a lot of money too... waste

Yeah this keeps coming up in my mind when I see Christian cutting a promo for Lucha Express. It bothers me. Christian is a guy who will sink or swim based on how he's pushed to be perceived by the audience. He's super easy to get over as a nasty heel but as a babyface you really have to treat him well week by week so that his connection with the audience is fresh.

It's frustrating because Christian wants greatness in wrestling and he's capable of it but also he's capable of coming off boring when he's not in any kind of specific story that is interesting.

The only way out of this story right now is Christian eventually turns on the Lucha Express and has a nice feud with Jungle Boy to "get him on that next level". It's just frustrating in AEW sometimes. They have so many really amazing former WWE talent that can do really cool fun matches with a lot of former indy talent, just so many matches we've never seen that would be fun. Often times tough they are booking a level below that though and we get a Danielson vs Moriarty, probably not the best example because that match was really good. But what I'm saying is wouldn't you have rather seen a Danielson vs Chris Daniels match, or vs Pac, or Penta, or Malakai or Andrade or The Bucks or Brian Cage or Archer or Jay Lethal I mean the list goes on of interesting matches that people will be interested in. It may not always be an interest level that hooks the casual audience but AEW can always hook that wrestling nerd audience and that's their core.
