WWE Superstar Christian will appear alongside his friend Edge in an episode of Syfy's Haven and he recently spoke about the appearance and other topics.
Christian spoke with the Miami Herald and with his in-ring career winding down, he was asked whether or not he'd want to be a part of the WWE's creative team.
"No. I've always liked being on the performance end of it. I've come up with different ideas, but as far as being a creative writer, I'm not sure about that," Christian told the publication. "I've always liked the performance end of it and wrestling, getting in the ring in front of a live crowd."
Christian, who is a multi-time WWE Tag Team Champion with Edge, will appear alongside his former tag team partner on Haven -- a series on which Edge is a regular -- Friday night and he will reprise the role twice in 2015.
Christian discussed working with the "Rated R Superstar" and WWE Hall of Famer again.
"It was fun [working together again]. We hadn't seen each other for a while with him being up in Nova Scotia for the better part of four years filming there and me working for WWE," Christian said. "He just had a daughter. I just had a daughter. Between children and both of us having different schedules, I think we had probably seen each other once in about a year. We just happened to be in the same city at the same time and had dinner for two or three hours, and that was all we had seen each other in about a year. So it was cool to get to go up to [Nova Scotia to film Haven] and spend some time with him and hang out and catch up and also act with him. It was a great experience."
Christian also discussed their characters on the show.
"With Edge and Christian, we were like Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, the Bill & Ted of WWE," he said. "We were kind of goofy, kind of funny, humorous, but then when we had to be serious in the ring, we would get serious. With his character, Dwight, on Haven and my character, McHugh, it's more of a serious tone, serious guys, trained professionals at what they do. So that dynamic was a little bit different, but we still have that chemistry like what we had in WWE. Knowing where each other was in the ring kind of carries over onto the Haven screen as well."
Lastly, Christian compared working with the WWE to working on Haven.
"With WWE, you're live every single week. You're in an arena, and there can be anywhere from 12,000 to 20,000 people watching you perform," he said. "The performances might have to be a little bigger, when you portray your character may have to be a little bigger, because not only are you performing for the person in the front row, but you're also performing for the person in the very back row. They have to kind of see everything, too. So it's more like stage acting, like theater. When you're on the Haven set, you're kind of bringing it down, making it a little bit smaller, not having to project as much, and figuring out that happy medium."
