Is Kurt Angle Headed to NXT?

It’s been reported that Kurt Angle is closing the door on his wrestling career and calling it a career. However, in this business sometimes all that means is I’m leaving this company to go wrestle for another one.

Kurt Angle officially announced his TNA retirement tour at the end of November. IF Kurt Angle chooses to wrestle again, it will most likely be for WWE. However, NXT presents a very interesting opportunity.

Ring Rust Radio officially interviewed Kurt Angle about the possibility of returning to WWE as his career appears to be ending, and if NXT is an option.

You can listen to the full interview right here. Below are the highlights of what Angle had to say:

A lot of former TNA talent has turned up in NXT as of late such as Samoa Joe and James Storm. If WWE offered you a spot in NXT, is that something that would interest you?

“No. With all due respect, the talent on the NXT roster is phenomenal. They are doing something right down there as far as getting talent ready. I just don’t think it would be worth it for either side to have me go down there and work on NXT. Not saying I wouldn’t do it, but it is considered the WWE minor league. With that in mind, I think anybody would feel the same way about it.”

Do you think there will be a void left in your career by not coming back to WWE?

“No, absolutely not. I have done it all from WWE to TNA to stuff over in Japan. I enjoyed it and every aspect of my career. It’s just the way the cards fell and right now I needed to get out for my own health. I don’t regret it because I had a lot of fun in TNA and both companies had been really great to me.”
