RAW General Manager returned to action at Sunday night’s Tables, Ladders and Chairs pay-per-view, his first WWE match in 11 years. Angle, filling in for Roman Reigns, became an honorary Shield member for the night when he teamed with Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose.
Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt were pulled from the event due to ‘medical reasons.’ When it became clear that they would not be able to compete at TLC, WWE immediately began brainstorming about how to salvage the show. According to PWInsider.com, it was WWE Chairman Vince McMahon who proposed the idea of Angle replacing Reigns.
Kurt Angle reportedly underwent his physical on Friday to determine if he was fit for action. WWE announced Angle’s return within minutes of Angle getting the green light from doctors.
Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose carried most of the physicality for their team. Angle took some bumps and hit his signature spots, but appeared winded at times and was generally protected during the match.
Thank you WWE Universe for a memorable night. #TLC #TheShield

Kurt Angle’s return at TLC was a one-off occasion, but the match going smoothly without incident leaves the door open for a match at WrestleMania 34 next year.
