In the case of Kurt Angle the story is slightly different, he showed an interest in returning to WWE arena in a recent Facebook session with fans. In fact, the rumors about his reentry has been in the rumor mill for almost a year and now it seems to become a reality. It is believed that he would participate in the Royal Rumble 2017 to set up a match with Lesnar in WrestleMania.

If everything works well, he might make a brief appearance in Royal Rumble 2017, in which he is expected to declare a match with Styles or others in WrestleMania.
