 William  Jason  "Jay"  Reso : (born  November  30,  1973)  is  a  Canadian  professional  wrestler  and  actor.  He  is  currently  signed  to  WWE,  where  he  performs  under  the  ring  name  Christian.

 Reso  was  trained  by  former  professional  wrestlers  Ron  Hutchinson,  Dory  Funk  Jr.,  and  Tom  Prichard,  and  made  his  wrestling  debut  in  June  1995.  Reso  wrestled  in  Canadian  independent  promotions  early  in  his  career.  During  his  time  in  these  promotions,  he  competed  in  singles  and  tag  team  competition,  with  Edge,  his  storyline  brother.  In  1998,  Reso  signed  a  developmental  deal  with  the  WWF  and  began  competing  for  the  company  the  following  year.  After  signing  with  the  WWF,  Reso  made  his  debut  and  captured  his  first  title  with  the  company,  the  WWF  Light  Heavyweight  Championship.  He  and  Edge  went  on  to  win  the  WWF  Tag  Team  Championship  on  seven  different  occasions.  During  this  time,  they  gained  notoriety  in  the  tag  team  division,  partly  due  to  their  participation  in  Tables,  Ladders,  and  Chairs  matches.  In  2001,  the  team  parted  ways  and  he  went  on  to  singles  competition.

 In  2005,  Reso  signed  with  Total  Nonstop  Action  Wrestling  (TNA).  There,  he  won  the  NWA  World  Heavyweight  Championship,  in  February  2006.  He  recaptured  the  title  in  January  2007  and  established  his  Coalition,  which  disbanded  a  year  later.  Reso  left  TNA  in  late  2008  and  re-signed  with  WWE.  In  April  2009,  Reso  won  the  ECW  Championship,  which  he  would  win  again  that  July.  He  became  the  longest  reigning  ECW  Champion  in  the  WWE  era  and  later  went  to  the  SmackDown  brand  capturing  the  World  Heavyweight  Championship  in  May  2011,  and  again  in  July  of  that  year.

 Overall,  Reso  has  won  22  total  championships  in  WWE  and  TNA.  He  is  a  six-time  World  Champion,  a  one-time  WWF  Light  Heavyweight  Champion,  one-time  WWF  Hardcore  Champion,  one-time  WWF  European  Champion,  four-time  WWF/E  Intercontinental  Champion,  and  a  nine-time  World  Tag  Team  Champion.  In  addition  to  these  accolades,  Reso  is  the  twenty-third  Triple  Crown  Champion  and  the  eleventh  Grand  Slam  Champion  in  WWE  history.
