Kurt Angle’s name has been floating around the internet for years about a potential return to the WWE to end his career. I think a lot of fans would love to see him for one final run and it sounds like he also would like to as well. In a recent interview with the World According to Wrestling podcast, Angle spoke about his future with the WWE.
Here is what he said when asked about a potential WWE return one day:
“Well, for one, I don’t want to go back right now. Two, between 2008 and 2013, I got four DUIs. As a publicly traded company, it doesn’t matter if you’re Kurt Angle, Stone Cold Steve Austin or The Undertaker, when you get involved in that kind of trouble consistently, that’s the last thing they need. So when I did try and go back a year and a half ago, I think they were thinking “Let’s see how he pans out, let’s see if he can stay clean, let’s see if he got his s–t together” so I think that’s part of it. I don’t blame them for that. I actually knew ahead of time that they were most likely going to say no. And I knew it was because of my own actions. But being clean now for three years and abiding by what I have to, I know that there will come a time where I will go back.”

Pretty big news that we now know he wants to return to the WWE. I think once he takes some time off to do some personal things the stars could align. Kurt Angle would be the perfect guy for a surprise return, especially during the Royal Rumble. At least we know where his head is at.
