Angle joins other WWE alum including Sting, Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler, and Bret “The Hitman” Hart at the convention “Double Or Nothing” weekend in Las Vegas.

The timing was clearly no coincidence, as Angle’s name was trending on Twitter, the announcement was made.

Kurt Angle isn’t the only current superstar booked for the convention that runs adjacent to All Elite Wrestling’s Double or Nothing pay-per-view, The Undertaker is also booked to appear.

Vince McMahon was reportedly unhappy with The Undertaker’s appearance, as he feels the convention is directly tied with All Elite Wrestling.

Conrad Thompson, founder of Starrcast, has stated numerous times that All Elite Wrestling and his convention as two separate entities.

Kurt Angle is scheduled for his final WWE match this Sunday against Baron Corbin at Wrestlemania 35.

Starrcast II will take place May 23 – 26 from Ceasars Palace in Las Vegas, NV
