Corbin stated that the match was a special moment for him in his WWE career and he will forever appreciate Angle.
“But I got the opportunity to get that victory and his kids were giving me the finger from the audience. It was amazing. I have the poster on my wall in the gym at home of everything. It’s a special thing I’ll always appreciate because I love Kurt as a person and a performer," said the SmackDown star.
Corbin also stated that Angle helped him a lot during their feud and that the Hall of Famer told him that he liked working with him in WWE.
