Extra thing I like rewatching it back?
The moment Christian first said he was sorry his family wasn't dead and the crowd booed him louder, he stopped and turned to the crowd with a face of disdain that they were interrupting him.
Like just...*chef's kiss*. Top notch heeling.

It's a tightrope walk to pull off but I feel like unrepentant morally bankrupt jerkass + hilariously inflated ego + loser shithead goofus is my favorite kind of heel

There's a way Christian delivers the really edgy "Your family should be dead" stuff that's so unlike how most wrestlers would handle the material, and it's part of what makes heel Christian so great. He's not yelling, he's not aggressively trying to offend, he's just speaking plainly to let Jungle Boy know that it would be better if all of his relatives were dead so they didn't have to see him fail. It's so horrifically, beautifully self-centered. He's the best. This is what makes it so good. He is a walking 'why are you booing me I'm right' meme

That was crazy. He really has taken MJFs role in pushing the line.

Christian's become the top heel in wrestling currently, and it's not even close
Dude's been so good at this, and I really agree that MJF got f***ing lapped by him currently. He knows how to dig without it oversaturating his character currently, just knows what to say and when to say it, has the crowd in the palm of his hand too
MJF can do that too and does it well obviously, but man is Christian doing his kind of role well until he shows up again. Dude loves being an asshole.

This is the most I've enjoyed Christian Cage since his "Christian's Coalition" days in TNA, so epic.

Christian next week: "Jungle Boy got one ball bigger than the other and they call that bitch Biggie Smalls."

clearly this Christian is actually MJF.
The turtleneck just makes him look very similar to Christian

I love that Christian is dressing now like he's the new CEO of Theranos.

It's sort of funny some people are saying the comments about Jeff are going to far when, like, literally last week he said "Jungle Boy, I'm sorry your entire family isn't dead except your mother so I can bone her".
I get the sentiment (seemed a bit icky but then the Hardys probably approved it) but after last week, Christian might as well had said "Man, Matt, that series you had with MVP kind of sucked".

Christian is very good at making these horrible lines sound like he's trying to get under his opponent's skin instead of just trying to pop the crowd. That's always my main issue with the "your family is dead" promos in wrestling. They always sound like they're just a cheap way to get heat from the crowd instead of a being a promo against another wrestler. Christian has the sleaze level to pull those lines off.
