Kurt Angle was lucky enough to have a long career inside the squared circle, but the WWE Hall of Famer hung his boots up for good after he was defeated by Baron Corbin at WrestleMania 35.
Even though Kurt has retired from in-ring competition there seems to be a lot of interest in a potential return for the former WWE Champion, and during a recent appearance on the Wrestling Inc. Daily, Angle noted that he turned down multiple offers from AEW.
“Yes, they offered me a couple of different contracts. I turned it down for personal reasons, but Tony Khan’s been really nice to me, very generous, and I really appreciate his interest in having me there. But at this particular time, I can’t do it.”
“The first offer, they wanted me to have many matches. The next offer, I think, was three matches, and then one was just an on-camera personality, no wrestling.”
At this point it seems that Kurt is not interested in returning to the ring, but when it comes to wrestling you can never say never.
