Also, when it comes to counting champions from other companies, you have to remember that WWE being a "bigger deal" than TNA means that it's not an even trade in both directions.
RVD coming to TNA being a former WWE champion puts him into ME consideration by default before he accomplishes anything in TNA at all.
Christian returning to WWE being a former champion in TNA means nothing whatsoever, and if anything probably hurts his odds of advancing because Vince hates pushing guys from other companies!
