Kurt Angle has a long history with WWE. Angle got his start in professional wrestling there and was an instant phenom. It’s no surprise that WWE would at least consider bringing in one of their most popular stars for a short run.

For now, there are no plans for Kurt Angle to appear on WWE television. That can always change as WWE gears up for WrestleMania. The WWE Universe shouldn’t get their hopes up too much, though.
