• Kurt Angle Reportedly Wanted A High Profile Match At WrestleMania 35

As seen on this week’s episode of RAW, WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle announced that he’ll be facing Baron Corbin in his retirement match at WrestleMania 35.

This didn’t sit well with wrestling fans as most of them wanted Angle’s final opponent to be 16 time WWE World Heavyweight Champion John Cena.

Below is what WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross tweeted regarding this match:

Angle’s wife, Giovanna Angle, tweeted the following response to JR’s tweet:

Giovanna later deleted this tweet and then tweeted the following:

According to PWInsider, Angle wanted a high profile farewell match at WrestleMania 35 (which would’ve been against someone like John Cena or The Undertaker), but it looks like WWE has better plans for Cena and Taker.

Angle & Corbin have faced off in singles matches before as well and Corbin beat Angle in those matches. It looks like the result is going to be the same this time as well as Angle will put a young talent over on his way out.
