1. Kurt Angle Starting His WrestleMania Program

There are signs that Jason Jordan will turn heel at some point, possibly to feud with his 'father' Kurt Angle. That's hardly the kind of match fans want to see for Kurt's first WrestleMania appearance since 2006 though; people will demand a higher-profile opponent for the Olympic Hero. Who that might be is anyone's guess.

One thing is for sure, the boil has been lanced and Angle has now wrestled in a WWE ring for the first time in 11 years. His stand-in performance for Roman Reigns didn't receive a lot of build (being a last-minute decision) either, so WWE will probably look to set that right at 'Mania. The road towards that match starts now.

Angle proved how handy he can be to the company in-ring on Sunday night. Booking him against someone like Triple H or Seth Rollins, who Angle himself has cited in interviews is a wrestler he's begging to work with, seems much bigger than Angle vs. Jordan could ever hope to be.
