WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle has enjoyed an incredible career, with a remarkable rookie year that quickly made him a wrestling legend. Throughout his time in WWE, he faced many top stars, including John Cena. In fact, he has now addressed the possibility of returning to WWE for a match against Cena.
Angle hasnt competed in the ring for over five years as his last match wasagainst Baron Corbin at WrestleMania 35 in 2019, which turned out to be his final bout, and he has never competed since then.
John Cena previously revealed that he will help transitionWWE RAW to Netflixas part of his retirement tour next year. His final wrestling appearances are slated for major events, including the Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, and WrestleMania 2025. Instead of having just one retirement match,Cenas farewell tour will span multiple dates, ending in December 2025.
While speaking on The Takedown, Kurt Angle was asked about possibly returning to the ring to square off against John Cena. Kurt Angle explained that he cant do it because his body isnt up to it anymore. He mentioned having had five neck surgeries, a recent back surgery, and that hell need shoulder replacements, making it impossible for him to wrestle again.
Angle shared that hes filming a CBS commercial for the Steelers versus Ravens game, where hell wear a Steelers singlet, and Kyle Brandt will wear a Ravens singlet for a fun pregame promo. Angle joked that while he could use a stunt double, hell be doing his own stunts. He admitted he could probably step into the ring but doesnt want to risk getting hurt again.
That being said,Kurt Angle has already confirmed that a movie based on his life is already in the works. Regardless, fans shouldnt hope to see Kurt Angle and John Cena face each other again inside the squared circle as its simply not feasible anymore.
