Christian has earned himself a shot at the Intercontinental Championship by winning a fatal-four-way number-one contender match on Monday's edition of RAW.
The former four-time holder of the strap hit the Killswitch to pin Dolph Ziggler in an entertaining bout which also included Alberto Del Rio and Sheamus.
He will now face current champion Big E, who has carried the gold since November, on Tuesday's Main Event show.
Christian, Sheamus, Ziggler and Del Rio are all former world champions, and have all confirmed their entrance into the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at the 30th anniversary of WrestleMania in April.
