The Royal Rumble is quickly approaching and fans are talking a lot about who could potentially win the Royal Rumble matches this year. Over the years a number of notable names have won the Royal Rumble, but Kurt Angle isn’t one of them.

During a recent interview with Great Offshore Sportsbooks, Kurt Angle was asked if there were ever any serious discussions about him potentially winning the Royal Rumble. Angle confirmed that there weren’t. However, the former WWE Champion also stated that he believes he would have won the match later in his career if he stayed with WWE.

“No, but I took second once, I think third twice. I didn’t have to. To win the Royal Rumble is like to give a guy a push for that year to be the world champion. So he’s on his way by winning the Royal Rumble. I was already a champion in my rookie year before the Royal Rumble even started. So I was world champion already. So I didn’t have to do the Royal Rumble or win the Royal Rumble.

Now, I could have later on in my career, but I only went to WWE for six years. And then I left and went somewhere else for 11. So if I would have stayed, I think I would have ended up winning the Royal Rumble. Because I believe they were going to give me the title multiple times. But because I left early due to my injuries and my painkiller problem. I left early and never found out if I would have gone on to win it.”
