On this week’s episode of RAW, Kurt Angle revealed that he dated a woman in college that gave birth to a baby boy 9 months after their final date. The child was then put up for adoption and was raised by a family that taught him great American values. The boy grew up wanting to be a WWE Superstar and achieved that dream. Angle proceeded to announce that Jason Jordan was his son. Jason Jordan came down to the ring and shared a hug with his father Kurt Angle.
After RAW went off the air, Renee Young sat down with Jason Jordan and Kurt Angle on WWE Network. Jordan stated that he hired a private investigator to find out who his real parents were. The investigator eventually found his birth mother, who then informed Jordan that his real father was WWE Hall of Famer and RAW GM Kurt Angle.
Jason said that he was very grateful for the support he has received in his quest to find his real parents. It was also announced that Jordan will be joining the RAW roster. Jordan claimed that he did not want any special treatment simply because his father is the GM of RAW.
