Baron Corbin Would Love To See Kurt Angle Compete Again

Baron Corbin beat Kurt Angle in his retirement match, but he wants to see the Olympic gold medalist return to the ring.

At WrestleMania 35, Baron Corbin scored a major win when he defeated Kurt Angle in his last match. Angle has not wrestled since, but fans have often speculated that he could lace up his boots again.

Speaking with Chris Van Vliet on Insight, Baron Corbin reflected on facing Kurt Angle in his retirement match. He noted that he would like to see the WWE Hall of Famer compete again.

“People even ask me, like, if he came back for one more match. Would you be mad? No, he’s one of the greatest of all time. Did we make something of me retiring him? You know? Yeah, it’s awesome. It’s something I’ll have in my belt forever. But I would love to see Kurt compete again, like just one of those things I was listening to him on Rogan’s podcast today.

“I’m like, I love that guy. He’s just so good. The things he’s done and fought through and accomplished and changed his life around to like, you know, be a better father, husband, wrestler, everything, competitor. I mean, that was a huge moment.”

Baron Corbin continued by describing how the victory meant a lot to him. He noted that he thought Angle was going to win, and he was grateful for the legend putting him over.

“That’s something I will have forever. I have a six foot poster in my house of it like because it was just such a cool thing. And to get the win. Like, I thought for sure, going into that I was like, man, we’re gonna send Kurt out on a high horse hand raised, me laying flat on my back. I was like, that’s gonna be awesome. And then they’re like, Hey, man, you’re going over and I was like, huh? Can you say that one more time?

“For Kurt to do that, like Kurt could have said no. I would have respected Kurt for that would have made sense. I would not have been any bit upset for that. I’m working Kurt Angle at WrestleMania. A guy who was in the Hall of Fame a guy who was a gold medal, a guy who has been in the ring with every superstar you can imagine from Taker to Brock to me just the list goes on and on, and I’m having a singles match at WrestleMania with this person.”
