10 Things That Must Happen Before WrestleMania 34

1. Kurt Angle Wrestles Again

He has only been in the role for a single show, but it looks like Kurt Angle is going to be a great Raw General Manager. The Olympic Hero was in top form last Monday, whether delivering a pep talk to Sami Zayn or playing the straight man to Enzo Amore’s goofball comedy, and if that show is anything to go by, Angle will be an endless entertaining presence on Monday nights.

That said, it’d be great to see him compete inside a WWE ring again, even if it’s just for one last time. Kurt’s post-TNA matches with the likes of Cody Rhodes and Zack Sabre Jr. prove that he can still go, and while physically diminished, his desire to compete remains. Angle has spoken enthusiastically about the prospect of wrestling for WWE again, and if you believe him, it’s only a matter of time before it happens.

Many fans would relish the prospect of seeing Kurt in action. Now 48 years old, Angle doesn’t have much time to pull it off, but assuming he has the required medical clearance, WWE should make the most of his return by letting him produce at least one farewell performance.
