10 WWE Stars From 2005 Who'd Be Awesome On Today's Roster
2. Kurt Angle
If you're going to keep Rusev as a heel, and he's in the midst of a brush with mainstream exposure that could easily be transformed into something more, why NOT have him be confronted by Kurt Angle at the Royal Rumble.Rusev actually eliminating himself to take down a sitting at ringside Kurt (so as to not even have injury-prone Angle get into the ring) would be a lot of fun. Kurt being announced as "semi-retired" and being goaded into making a return and tapping out "instead of having his neck re-broken in the Accolade" would do well to a) get over Rusev and b) get the most out of Angle. As well, if you kept around Kurt for more as Rusev's "coach," that'd actually be great, too.
