WWE has pulled Kurt Angle from Friday?s 5-Star show in Scotland, which could be a possible indication that he is appearing at Sunday?s WWE Royal Rumble event in Antonio, Texas.
The belief is that Kurt was going to be pulled from 5-Star show even if he doesn?t appear for WWE at The Rumble. The company is being much strict on talents under contract working overseas for non-WWE events lately.
However, that doesn?t mean that the former Olympian won?t appear. As we previously reported, there has been talk within WWE about having Angle make a surprise appearance in the 30-Man Royal Rumble main event. The idea was that if Angle could be cleared to compete, the company would eventually use him in a match.

"As noted, Kurt Angle was pulled from his booking at this Saturday's "5 Star Wrestling" Dominant Wrestling TV show, which is set to air live on Spike TV UK at 8pm ET, which will be hours before the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. The timing was interesting, however Angle spoke to TMZ Sports, as seen in the video below, and shut down rumors of appearing at the Rumble.
"The Royal Rumble is not going to happen, A lot of people are assuming it, a lot of writers are writing about it. I haven't talked to WWE about anything after the WWE Hall of Fame. I'm sure they're going to want to do something eventually,
Re: WWE pulls Kurt Angle from Royal Rumble indy event
On one hand, I don't think he should be in it unless he either wins it or is in the final four as the match is already loaded as it is. On the other hand, IT'S KURT FREAKING ANGLE and I'd mark like a little bitch at an Aerosmith concert if he showed up on Sunday.
Re: WWE pulls Kurt Angle from Royal Rumble indy event
This is why "leaking" shit like WWE does is stupid as fuck.
Imagine if he was in the Rumble and he didn't get announced as a HOF inductee before hand? So much more shock, surprise, mark out like an 8 year old girl etc.
Are they that concerned about selling HOF tickets?
Re: WWE pulls Kurt Angle from Royal Rumble indy event
Hello I think it has to be Kurt Angle in the Royal Rumble this Sunday otherwise the WWE don't want him to commontate on UK TV live.
So it will be interesting to see if Kurt Angle dose indeed appear in the Royal Rumble.
It will be cool to hear people chant "You suck ""You suck ""You suck ".
With the concussion lawsuit still going+liabilities of Angle's body, they have to be really careful. He still looks to be in good shape but I'd be a little shocked of he could pass their physicals.
Re: WWE pulls Kurt Angle from Royal Rumble indy event
I wouldn't bet on an Angle appearance in the Rumble. My guess is he would still have to pass all of their medical tests which probably takes time and they just now reconnected with each other.
Re: WWE pulls Kurt Angle from Royal Rumble indy event
Great... Now the seed is planted in my brain that he could be in the Rumble, even though I should know better. But goddamn, I'll be there on Sunday, naively hoping he pops up.
What's a better stage to return, if not the Royal Rumble?
