Top 6 candidates in WWE to retire Kurt Angle
Kurt Angle has been back with the WWE for a while now, but it's clear that the Hall of Famer's career is quickly coming to an end, and he addressed this topic on a recent social media Q&A.
When asked about what he's got left to accomplish in his career, Kurt replied:
"I have nothing that I feel I need to accomplish other than an amazing retirement match, whenever that is."
Now we aren't saying that it will be at WrestleMania 35, but it's clear that he doesn't have much left in him, so now is the time to start looking towards that final bout. From young stars to old rivals, there are many options for Kurt's final bout, and today we are going to look at who we believe the best 6 candidates for that job really are.
#6 Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins is the hottest male performer in the WWE today, and he's well on his way to dethroning The Beast at WrestleMania, and after that, he'll continue setting big milestones. Kurt has been a main event star for his entire career, so getting one final shot at the top belt would be well deserved. So a Universal Championship vs Career match is a big possibility in late 2019.
Kurt hasn't looked the same since coming back, due to his age and the countless injuries that have broken down his body. So having a young performer like Seth in his prime carry his final match is a necessity.
There's plenty of young options out there, because it's clear Kurt isn't the same performer he's been in his career, but given that this will be his final bout, he deserves to give people the lasting memory of just how good he is and was, and Seth gives him the best chance at that.
