The impromptu showdown was all part of the buzz for this Sunday’s AFC North battle, and fans got a nostalgic kick out of seeing Angle back in action.
In a post that’s already making waves on social media, the NFL on CBS shared the epic moment with the caption, “THE RAVENS. THE STEELERS. THIS MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL.”
The clip featured Angle and Brandt putting on a fun, wrestling-style promo that brought the intensity of the gridiron into the squared circle. Kyle Brandt himself confirmed the feat, tweeting, “I wrestled Kurt Angle. One shot.”
The highly anticipated game pits two top teams against each other, with the Ravens (7-3) and Steelers (7-2) sitting atop the AFC North standings. Angle’s promo is just the latest example of how sports and entertainment can collide in the most exciting ways.
So, what did fans think? The reaction was pure excitement, with many applauding the unique crossover between WWE and NFL coverage. It’s safe to say the wrestling legend hasn’t lost his showmanship, even if this match wasn’t for a championship title.
