Rumor: Kurt Angle Could Still Return to WWE Before Wrestlemania 33

There have been a lot of rumors recently about Kurt Angle’s status with WWE. It has been confirmed by WWE that Angle would NOT be returning to WWE soon for the WWE Draft and brand split.

However, that doesn’t mean that Angle won’t be rejoining WWE in the future. He recently did an interview with Sports Illustrated and revealed a lot about his recent issues with addiction and discussion with WWE.

You can read the full interview right here. Below are some of the highlights:

What keeps Angle sober every day? 

“Every day is important to stay clean–not only for me but also for my family. If I make the wrong move, I’m dead and my kids are fatherless. That’s helped me stay clean, and I’ve been really blessed not to have any triggers. None of that has happened to me. I really believe that God gave me the work ethic and the ability to have a strong will. That doesn’t mean I can’t fall–I fell into it. I got addicted and was really messed up, but to stay out of addiction takes as much hard work as I did with the Olympics. That’s what I do–I work hard and stay clean each day.”

What is the latest on Angle’s status with WWE? 

“I had a talk with WWE,” said Angle. “It’s confidential. I will not be returning for the draft. Possibly in the future, most likely next year, but that is not a guarantee. It was a loose conversation but I will be in touch with Triple H [Paul Levesque] in the future.”
