WWE wrestler Christian said in an interview promoting this weekend's house show tour in Canada that his stint in TNA was a mere break from the WWE grind.
"The day that I left the WWE, I always knew when the time was right that I was going to go back," Christian told the Times & Transcript newspaper in Moncton.
"I started on the road when I was 24, and I was on the road for eight years straight without a break.

Beth Phoenix Comments on her Injury
"Two weeks ago on Superstars, I had a match against new SmackDown Diva, Rosa Mendes. During the course of the match I was able to reverse an Irish Whip into the corner and counter Rosa with an Up and Over maneuver where I jump out of the turnbuckle, over her and show her what The Glamazon is made of. However, when I landed, feet side by side, as I have thousands of times over the course of my career, my left knee buckled to the side and I heard a very distinctive, "Crunch.""
Beth revealed she suffered a bruised bone, torn & displaced Meniscus, a sprained MCL and a torn ACT. She was advised by doctors to get surgery and will be going under the knife this coming Tuesday in Alabama with Dr. James Andrews. She will be out of action for several months.
