While making an appearance on the Mark Madden show on “105.9 The X” today to promote his upcoming Legends of Wrestling appearance, Kurt Angle said he has recently talked to WWE and Triple H about a return to the company.
Angle did note that he hasn’t spoken to them since the brand split announcement, but he said they had good talks and he and HHH were ‘on good terms’ and that he will return to WWE, it’s just a matter of when. He said no one has contacted him yet about returning for the brand split, and most of his previous talks revolved around him working with newer talents like some of the NXT callups, noting American Alpha as names he’d like to work with.
Angle noted that he’s not sure he’s still part of the brand split plans now, and also said he only has plans as of now for four matches this year (wrestled Rey Mysterio in March, Zack Sabre Jr this month, and upcoming matches against Joe Coffey and Cody Rhodes), part of him taking a break from an ‘active’ wrestling career.
