Christopher Daniels addresses rumors of being WWE's 'higher power
Summary

Christopher Daniels, currently with AEW, spoke about the long-standing rumor suggesting he was in line to be the 'higher power' in WWE's Corporate Ministry storyline during the Attitude Era. While the angle ultimately revealed Vince McMahon in that role, Daniels mentioned that he was never formally approached for it. He stated he only heard of this speculation later and emphasized that it would not have made sense, given his stature and character at the time. Daniel's career continued successfully after this period, leading to achievements in TNA and Ring of Honor before his current role with AEW as head of talent relations.
