The big news on Monday was that Kurt Angle was announced as the headliner for the 2017 WWE Hall of Fame class. The news shocked the wrestling world as Angle hasn’t been with the WWE since leaving the company over a decade ago. Kurt Angle is coming home!!

But the question remains, will Kurt Angle be wrestling or is he just getting inducted into the Hall of Fame? In an interview with ESPN where they announced the news, Angle spoke about his wrestling status with WWE:

“Hunter said they never forgot and he called and told me this is the first thing they want to do. And whether I wrestle or not after this — which is irrelevant right now — I’m just really proud to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame”

Kurt continued:

“We have not talked about any wrestling. Whether we do or not, that remains to be seen… There are no guarantees. I think right now the most important thing is the Hall of Fame — and I think both sides feel that way.”
