Kurt Angle might be one of the names making a surprise appearance at this weekend’s Royal Rumble event from Indianapolis, Indiana.
The Olympic Gold Medallist is already scheduled to be in the area. He has been announced as part of the WrestleCon convention alongside other legendary guests such as Sting, Ric Flair and Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
Now Fightful Select is reporting that to people close to him, Angle has divulged that he has been contacted by WWE to participate in something for Saturday’s Premium Live event.
It’s unknown what role the company is considering Angle for, but given his physical condition, it’s likely that he’ll be appearing in a non-wrestling role if he is indeed brought in for the PPV.
Kurt Angle also recently explained that he is not interested in an extended role with the company so his appearance will be a one-off thing if it happens.
The WWE Hall of Famer is not the only big name expected at the show. The company has already announced that Charlotte Flair will be making her in-ring return at the Premium Live Event after her year-long injury.
Several NXT stars are also expected to be brought in for the show per reports. You can check out a list of the NXT names that might appear at the event here.
