A few years ago it became clear that WWE was hoping to push Jason Jordan when he was revealed to be Kurt Angle’s illegitimate son, but unfortunately those plans didn’t come to fruition, as Jason had to step away from the ring due to injury.
During a recent episode of The Kurt Angle Show Jason Jordan’s status was discussed and Kurt Angle had a lot of praise for the former Raw Tag Team Champion.
”I was excited about it because Jason is a great talent. He was improving every week. He was on his way to main event status, until he hurt his neck.”
The Hall of Famer also noted that he wanted to recreate Team Angle with Jason Jordan and Chad Gable, and that he wanted them to win tag team gold while he was World Champion.
”I wanted to wrestle and I wanted to be The World Champion and have them be the Tag Team Champions just like Team Angle. I thought it made a lot of sense. They decided I was going to have an illegitimate son and they weren’t sure who it was going to be and they decided to pick Jason over Chad.”
