4. Pissed Angle Is Awesome

You have to love Kurt Angle when he gives zero sh***.

By that, we mean the Raw GM not tolerating the usual BS from annoying heels, particularly the Miz and Alexa Bliss. In both cases, the champions aggravated an already-stressed Angle, and he responded by sticking both in title matches.

Miz ran afoul of Angle by showing up late and complaining about Kurt being named captain of the Raw Survivor Series team. Angle wasted little time in calling him selfish or a coward (or both) and sticking him in a match against Matt Hardy. Later, Bliss tried to get a little too cute with Kurt, and he put her in a title bout against Mickie James.

Angle won’t be able to do that every week, but it was a nice way to show that with his back against the wall, the Olympic gold medalist will lash out.
