Kurt Angle On Why He Turned Down An Offer To Join AEW

Over the last few years fans have seen some big changes in the world of wrestling including Kurt Angle’s retirement from in-ring competition, and the emergence of AEW.

During a recent appearance on The Paradox of Sports former WWE Champion Kurt Angle discussed his thoughts on the current landscape of wrestling, and he noted that he thinks it’s a good thing that two companies are doing well right now.

“The good thing about it is there are two big companies going right now. That’s good for the wrestlers, that gives them options and gives them jobs to look for. It’s actually a good thing to have two companies instead of one.”

Kurt Angle has said in the past that the company made him an offer to wrestle, and an offer to just appear as an on screen personality, but he turned the deals down. While talking more about why he turned down the chance to work with AEW Angle explained that he’s a WWE guy.

“I considered it, I was offered a couple of deals. I turned them down. But I’m a WWE guy and my loyalty is there for right now. You know, I’m not signed with them in any particular way. But I do have some projects coming up that is part of WWE and I don’t want to mess that up,” he admitted. “So, I am going to stay loyal to WWE right now.”
