As i recall he didn't leave right after the feud with cena, he got drafted to smackdown and had an epic promo on his final day as a member of the raw roster, (fun fact: still was his final day on raws roster) anyway, he was involved in a match for the vacant smabckdown championship, but then it was revealed that raws world champion Batista was now a member of the blue brand. A couple squash matches later and xtian was asking for his release. I agree, if he stayed with wwe, and wwe pushed him the way they seemed to try to do on raw, he would've probably ended up a multi-time world champion.
That being said, before would be my answer as well. His presence meant more, plus i think he could've really done something following the muhammad hassan incident, as wwe would've probably plugged him in as a mainevent heel versus taker then. In my opinion they would've at least.
-edit-
had to put this quote from the promo i was talking about.
"looks like smackdown needs an injection of the three "c's"...Charisma, Canada, and Christian!"
I always looked at that as kind of a potshot at angles 3 Is. Christian soldified his cult following that night, in my opinion.
