Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Christian is advertised for this Tuesday’s WWE SmackDown tapings in Grand Rapids, Michigan, which may indicate his in-ring return this week.

Christian has been out of action since November with a high ankle sprain and briefly returned to action prior to WrestleMania in a match with CM Punk, however he was pulled from representing Team Johnny at WrestleMania XXVIII due to the fact that his ankle wasn’t 100% healed at the time.

Christian joined up with the SmackDown brand mid-way through their European tour which has now wrapped up, competing in tag team matches with Mark Henry against Booker T and a selected opponent.
