A week after the successful return to the ring at TLC, Kurt Angle is fully involved with more plans for his competitive future in WWE.
The Olympic gold medalist featured in the main event which saw The Shield take on The Miz, Sheamus, Cesaro, Kane, and Braun Strowman. As Roman Reigns was ruled out of The Shield’s PPV return due to a viral infection, Kurt was medically cleared to compete in WWE for the first time in 11 years.
Here is the RAW General Manager’s take on his emotional return to the ring:
Since Sunday’s TLC, it appears that WWE has given Kurt Angle the green light to move forward with more in ring appearances. He recently posted this photo on instagram:
At TLC Angle wore a tactical vest, a must for any member of The Shield. Therefore, a photo of him working on his patriotic attire tells us that WWE want to use him in the ring again, and not just as a replacement.
To add even more fuel to this, WWE have released a poll asking the fans who Kurt Angle’s next opponent should be. To be absolutely clear though, it does state “If Kurt Angle were to compete…”.
AJ Styles, Cesaro, and Brock Lesnar feature as the top three competitors that fans want to see against Kurt Angle, while Bray Wyatt is last with 0% of the vote.
Opinion:
Kurt Angle won’t have many big matches left in him. While WWE appear to be giving him what he deserves, the matches he features in will need to be chosen carefully to make the most of this golden opportunity.
The next step for Kurt Angle however, is taking control of his roster and delivering at Survivor Series after Shane McMahon and SmackDown Live ransacked RAW.
