10 Bold WWE Predictions For 2017

5. Kurt Angle Returns

Can you believe it's been over a decade since Kurt Angle last competed in a WWE ring? Fans have been clamouring for his return ever since and we sincerely hope that 2017 is the year we finally see it happen.

With his time at TNA seemingly at an end, Angle has been working sporadic independent dates in 2016 and has stated that he hopes to have a big 2017. All that would seem to point towards a potential WWE return; the only stalling point at this stage in Angle's career is whether WWE would agree to have him back. They've had plenty of opportunities to bring the 48-year-old back into the fold but because of Kurt's personal demons, they passed on the chances. Now Kurt is clean and happier in his life, however, WWE may finally relent and bring one of the greatest of all time home.

Imagine if 'The Olympic Hero' made a surprise return in the Royal Rumble and squared off with someone like Seth Rollins or even reignited his old feud with Brock Lesnar. The place would go nuts.
