Kurt Angle is currently on his farewell tour and the Olympic Gold Medalist has been facing rivals who have had a history with Angle during his long and illustrated career.
Some of Angle’s final opponents include the likes of Samoa Joe, AJ Styles and Rey Mysterio and many believe that WWE has booked these bouts in response to the negative feedback to his WrestleMania opponent Baron Corbin.
However this isn’t the case and according to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio, the opponents he has been facing recently were all handpicked by Kurt himself.
The opponent which he didn’t actually have a say in was his rival for the WrestleMania match in Corbin, and as we noted before, Kurt himself was hoping for a more high profile opponent for his final bout.
Kurt Angle faced Samoa Joe on last night’s episode of Raw and he defeated the US Champion by reversing a Coquina Clutch and getting the three count.
He is facing AJ Styles on tonight’s episode of SmackDown Live and the company has announced that the Former Champion will go toe to toe against Rey Mysterio in his last ever Raw match next week.
There are speculations about him facing another popular opponent at next week’s SmackDown to conclude the farewell tour but nothing has been announced yet.
