Is the wait over?

Here lies the magical question. The next three days are full of wrestling. Sunday is the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. Monday night is the first RAW for Wrestlemania XXVIII buildup. Tuesday is a live edition of "Super" SmackDown. Is the wait over?

Will we see Christian?

WWE officials have been working on ideas for Christian’s return and how he will be involved with Edge’s 2012 WWE Hall of Fame induction. - wrestlenewz.com

I hope that means "yes" and it seems my hunch was correct. In an earlier post , I debated whether or not Christian could return as a babyface or turn face shortly after returning. Although that may never happen, I feel confident in saying that I was correct to believe Christian's role in Edge's upcoming Hall of Fame induction could have a big impact on his on-screen character.

As outlined previously, Edge and Christian's story line characters had a "parting of ways" at last year's SummerSlam. As a heel, Christian may not be suited to doing Edge's induction speech just yet. That doesn't necessarily mean he must turn face in order to get back on the Rated R Superstar's good side, however, it would certainly be the easier and thus more predictable story for creative management to write.

Either way, I would not be surprised to see Christian's Wrestlemania story this year to nearly revolve around Edge. That could mean a challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship, an entry into the rumored Money in the Bank Ladder Match, or a mid-card feud with another Superstar. I'll have a post tomorrow on my final "fantasy bookings" before Christian's return; or at least I hope they'll be final ones.

I will be surprised and highly disappointed if Christian has not returned by the time SmackDown goes off air on Tuesday night.
