10 Wrestlers Who Returned From Injury And Then Got Injured

9. Christian Cage

Much like his former best buddy Adam Copeland, Christian - now Christian Cage in AEW - had his in-ring career cut short by injury, only to return many years later and have one of the best runs of his entire career. 

Before he retired the first time round in 2014, the Canadian star hurt his ankle whilst on a European tour in late 2011. 

The injury took him out of a traditional Survivor Series match at the upcoming pay-per-view, which means he missed the opportunity to share the ring with Mason Ryan.

Captain Charisma returned in February 2012, but was then taken out of action again with a storyline injury. He came back from that in May, but, by July, he picked up another knock, for real this time, whilst competing in an Intercontinental Championship match with The Miz. 

This kept Christian out of the ring for the better part of a year, until mid-2013. By the same time the following year, he’d be “retired” from pro wrestling entirely after suffering a concussion.

Many thought this was the end of Mr. Cage, but the lure of wrestlers with dead dads brought him back from the brink.
