Kurt Angle was included in the list of those released by WWE on April 15th due to cutbacks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite that, he would subsequently be used as a guest referee on NXT for a steel cage match between Matt Riddle and Timothy Thatcher, and then on SmackDown announcing, Riddle would be joining the blue brand.

These appearances have had fans wondering if Kurt Angle could soon be rejoining the WWE, but following an interview with SI.com, that doesn’t appear to be in Angle’s immediate plans, even though WWE did have an idea for him.

WWE offered me a job to manage Matt Riddle; unfortunately, I turned it down. I just have so much going with my business, Physically Fit Nutrition, and I need to make sure it succeeds before I do anything else.

It was almost a blessing in disguise that WWE released me. The business started picking up orders, and we’re at a point where I really need to be here.Kurt Angle

Angle would also hint at a potential in-ring return even though he had a high profile retirement match at WrestleMania 35 and previously saying his quality of life sucks.

“Right now, I can’t. Could my mind be changed? Yes, for two reasons. I’m working on my business, and I’ve been doing a lot of rehab on my body, trying to get myself back to where I’m able to live a healthy lifestyle. I’d been so banged up—my neck, my back, and my neck—but I’m making improvements.Kurt Angle
