Final fantasy Christian bookings

It should be noted that I started working on this post yesterday morning; I promise. I did not expect Christian to give away the fact that he's at the site of the Elimination Chamber last night. Just as we learned last month with the Royal Rumble, just because Christian is there, it doesn't mean he'll actually appear on camera. Nonetheless, I'll go forward with a couple of my ideas. My overall premise is to give two prominent story lines where Christian is involved in Edge's Hall of Fame induction, but still has a unique "Wrestlemania Moment" of his own.

My first idea involves Christian remaining a heel while still doing Edge's speech. He would imitate Edge's very own actions at the No Way Out pay-per-view's World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber match in 2009. For those that don't recall, Edge forced his way into the match by assaulting Kofi Kingston and would go on to win. Christian could very well do the exact same thing tonight. Many are speculating (myself included) that another competitor will steal Santino Marella's spot in the match. If Christian were to do so and capture the World Heavyweight Championship just as Edge did, he could dub himself similar to the "Ultimate Opportunist." Edge would appear on a coming episode RAW or SmackDown and have a promo interrupted by Christian. After an awkward moment of silence/serious stare down, Edge would bust out with a smile and say something like, "Way to go dude, you totally did it!" They'd then proceed to have a throwback E&C styled promo. Sheamus would then interrupt and announce he's challenging Christian for the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania XXVIII. 

My second idea is a way to turn Christian babyface. First, it would be announced on tomorrow's RAW that there will be a Money in the Bank Ladder Match at Wrestlemania XXVIII. RAW and SmackDown would then have qualifying matches for it. Before a qualifying match starts, a standard heel would be announced (like Jinder Mahal or Hunico). "And their opponent..." Christian's music hits and he gets the "return pop" from the live SmackDown audience. Christian wins the match and qualifies. The next week, Christian would have a promo to solidify his face turn. He'd talk about how he still wants "one more match" for the world title but is determined to earn it. He says something to the effect that he plans on winning Money in the Bank in honor of his best friend, Edge, who won two separate world championships from MITB cash-ins. After conducting Edge's induction speech the night before Wrestlemania, Christian would win Money in the Bank. From there, he can hold on to it for however long before become a three-time World Heavyweight Champion.

Will either of these things happen? Probably not. Although I'm not alone in predicting the first scenario. There's definitely some buzz that Christian could cause major shakeup at tonight's pay-per-view just because he tweeted that he was in Milwaukee. Of course, he could return in a significantly lesser role than the two I have outlined. Because of that, I don't want to get my hopes up and recommend you don't either. Hopefully we'll know by the end of Tuesday night, if not Sunday night, what Christian's Road to Wrestlemania will look like.
