Here’s What WWE Had Planned For A Recent Kurt Angle Return

There was something to that. Every now and then, you see a story that goes well on its own, but could have been that much better with one more change. That might be a different direction, a different result, or even a different wrestler involved. It seems that WWE had an idea of how to upgrade a recent storyline, but for some reason they did not go in that direction. However, we do know what might have been in the plans.

Over the last few weeks, WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle revealed that he was in discussions to be brought in for a short for storyline. The plans were canceled for reasons that were not clear, but Angle never revealed what he was supposed to do. According to Fightful Select, Angle would have been part of the Academic Challenge between RKBro and the Alpha Academy. Had Angle been involved, the challenge would have been the Three I’s Challenge, as a takeoff of Angle’s Intensity, Integrity and Intelligence catchphrase. It is not clear why WWE changed their minds on the story.

Opinion: This is something that would have made a lot of sense, though I’m not sure how much of an upgrade it would have been. What mattered here was putting together a good story, and Angle could have been a nice addition. The problem is things went well as they wound up going and the teams did not have to lose any of the focus to Angle. Either way, it is nice to see that WWE is interested in doing something with Angle, who would be a nice cameo to use at some point.

What do you think of the idea? Would Angle have been an improvement? Let us know in the comments below.
