On Wednesday’s episode of Dynamite, Paul Wight, formally The Big Show in WWE, announced that at Revolution, another wrestler, who he referred to as Hall of Fame-worthy, would be signing with AEW. Since then, fans have been speculating on who the mystery wrestler would be with names including CM Punk, Brock Lesnar, Mark Henry, Christian, RVD, and even John Cena suggested.
Now Kurt Angle has added to the speculation by sharing a video on Twitter of him putting on his ring gear and lacing up his boots with the captain “To Be Continued.” You can watch this for yourself below.
While Angle would meet both the hype’s requirements and meet the fan’s expectations, it isn’t confirmed he is the wrestler in question. The Olympic gold medalist could merely be having some fun at AEW fan’s expense. That said, he does look like a realistic possibility of being the surprise as since starting his own podcast, he has been very outspoken about his final run with WWE. He was specifically being disappointed with his retirement match being somewhat of a WrestleMania afterthought.
A run with AEW would allow him to end his career on a high and possibly have a couple of matches with wrestlers he hasn’t shared a ring with, such as Kenny Omega and Adam Page. However, WWE did encourage Kurt Angle to retire for a reason. He has broken his neck five times throughout his amateur and professional wrestling careers and has suffered numerous other injuries. Plus, he recently stated he requires further neck surgery, which will keep him bedbound for up to six months.
