10 Superstars Kurt Angle Needs To Face Before He Retires
10. Sami Zayn
The former El Generico is one of the most popular wrestlers in the world right now, with the loss of his mask pushing him to a whole new stratosphere as a massively likeable and relatable babyface that fans can really get behind. Putting Sami up against a returning Kurt Angle would make for a fascinating match-up if handled correctly. Sure, Angle has stated that he wouldnt want to perform in NXT, but theres a good chance that Zayn will be called up to the main roster at some point in the next few months. Then again, this match would also require Kurt to sign with the WWE once more (which is something thatll be a common theme throughout this article). But imagine the story: the energetic, athletic, high-impact style of Sami Zayn being brought to its knees by the wrestling machine known as Kurt Angle. The match could easily be positioned as the wily veteran Angle using his technical prowess to try and ground Sami and stop his frantic offense. Whether Angle was positioned as a face or a heel (and lets face it, Sami Zayn is a natural babyface who will struggle to ever be properly booed), a match with Zayn could be a classic and one that many fans would love to see before Kurt calls time on his career.
