WWE Royal Rumble Matches Spoiled Early

WWE Hall Of Famer Kurt Angle remains one of the most technically-gifted pro wrestlers to have ever stepped foot inside the squared circle. He had arguably the best rookie year in WWE history as he won the WWE Championship within a year and competed at the highest level for many years after that.

 


 

Angle would leave WWE in 2006 and made his way to TNA Wrestling, where he spent a decade in the company, surpassing the seven years he stayed in WWE. He also had instant classics in TNA, including matches against the likes of AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Nigel McGuiness, and many more.

Xero News took to Twitter and reported the following regarding the Royal Rumble:

One thing I had heard, is not to expect Flair vs. Rousey at Royal Rumble, Alexa vs Bianca rematch is possible but undecided on, as of yet. Reigns vs. Owens is still planned for the PPV i was told

While speaking on The Kurt Angle Show, Kurt Angle talked about his accomplishments in WWE. While doing so, Angle admitted that he regretted never winning the Royal Rumble match.

“You know what, one thing that got away from me. I would’ve loved to win the Royal Rumble, and go to WrestleMania and main event as most likely the babyface, because that’s who usually wins the Royal Rumble. That would’ve been a lot of fun for me.”
