If anything, I think him going to TNA provided him a chance to be the big fish and get more comfortable being a viable opponent against true Main Eventers like Kurt Angle, Jeff Jarrett and Sting......and in typical Christian fashion, out shine those guys too.
This situation isn't really one of those ones where hindsight is 20/20. There's no way of knowing what would have happened to Christian had he stayed in the WWE instead of leaving for TNA for 5 years. Yes, his career was not exactly on the swift rise up during his last year in the WWE, but that doesn't necessarily indicate what his future might hold. If someone like Kane, who not so long ago was a mere afterthought, winning the ECW Title in a throwaway WrestleMania match can make a comeback and win the World Heavyweight Title, I don't see why Christian couldn't. There was a time when Eddie Guerrero was nothing more than a joke character in the WWF - a stereotypical Mexican dude... future World Champion. Some said the same things about CM Punk during his first year when he suffered some clean losses to guys like Hardcore Holly and Mordecai. And he's a former World Champion. Christian was NEVER eft off a Mania card while under contract with the WWE, and his Mania matches were generally fairly high profile.

I think it's fair to say that he would be a main eventer and probably a former World Champion by now if he had stayed. In fact, I'd be willing to bet on it if Doc and Marty showed up and offered to find out for us. A Smackdown World Title reign after a MITB cash in against someone like Edge sounds about right.

Hard to believe that The Miz has reached the pinnacle before Christian.
