8 Ways WWE Can Book Kurt Angle's Return
4. The 2017 Royal Rumble
As mentioned earlier, Kurt Angle himself has claimed that he wants to take the majority of 2016 off. Aside from a few showcase performances it is unlikely that we'll see all that much of Angle in the ring, so if he does re-sign with World Wrestling Entertainment in the coming months why not save his return until the Royal Rumble in January 2017?
The Rumble has become known for shocking returns and surprise entrances, but with all due to respect to those that have come before it is unlikely that any previous surprise could match the response a potential Angle return would get.
The match is tailor-made for such things. The countdown clock, the anticipation and tension created by a crowd, the explosion of Angle's iconic music and raucous cheers as thousands of thrilled human beings chant 'You Suck' in unison. What a beautiful thing that would be.
