3 Potential opponents for Kurt Angle's retirement match at WrestleMania 35
On this past Monday's edition of Raw, former multiple time WWE World Heavyweight Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle, who turned 51 this past December, will have his retirement match at WrestleMania 35.
However, it hasn't yet been revealed who the WWE Hall of Famer will end up in the ring with at the event. Following this past Monday's show, Angle pondered who he might face at this year's Mania, but he didn't end up naming his opponent.
Some have predicted that the former Raw and SmackDown general manager will end up going one on one with a guy like Baron Corbin, who Angle has feuded with for several months now. But that match doesn't seem likely, as it probably wouldn't end up being the big farewell match that people are hoping for. On top of that, the match is going to be at the biggest show of the year, so anything short of a big name opponent will be a disappointment.
Unfortunately, guys who Angle has never faced, someone like Daniel Bryan for example, already have matches booked for the show. But there are a few names from Angle's past who could confront our Olympic Hero this coming April.
#3 The Undertaker
As of right now at least, we don't know if The Undertaker will show up at this year's WrestleMania. As you'll recall last year, he didn't make an appearance leading up to the show, although everyone already knew that he was going to be there for a match against John Cena.
An Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle match at WrestleMania would undoubtedly garner a ton of interest simply because of both men's legendary status in the company. However, both of them are very beat up, so putting them together in a singles match might not be the right dynamic.
But if WWE is looking for a big name to fill that spot, The Undertaker is free, and he might be willing and able to go one on one with Kurt Angle in his retirement match.
