Angle appeared as a guest on The Paradox of Sports and he revealed that some WWE-related projects have made him hesitate on working with AEW.
“I considered it. I was offered a couple of deals, I turned them down but I’m a WWE guy and my loyalty is there for right now. I’m not signed with them in any particular way but I do have some projects coming up that is part of the WWE and I don’t wanna mess that up. So, I’m gonna stay loyal to WWE right now.”
Angle is a WWE Hall of Famer. He signed with the company back in 1998 and made his exit in 2006. He then signed with TNA Wrestling, the promotion he called home for 10 years.
