It’s worth mentioning here that there are people who believe that Corbin is not going to be Angle’s opponent and the whole thing is a work.
Speculation is that this match will be changed later on but as of now, Kurt Angle vs. Baron Corbin is the match that is listed as part of the official match card for the show.
