With WWE currently powering forward to this weekend's Survivor Series PPV, now comes word that the legendary figure of Kurt Angle will be in attendance for this year’s edition of the company’s annual November event.

As first reported by PWInsider, Angle is expected to be at Survivor Series as part of what WWE’s billing as the “Final Farewell” for the iconic Undertaker.

Already, we’ve heard how Kane, the Godfather and Savio Vega will be amongst those attending Survivor Series, with several other familiar faces expected to be at the PPV to pay their respects to the Phenom.

Right now, it’s not known whether these legends will be featured on camera or whether their role will be limited to simply being backstage to be in the vicinity for the 30th anniversary of the Undertaker’s WWE debut all the way back at the 1990 edition of the Survivor Series.

Where Kurt Angle is concerned, the multiple-time World Champion was formally released from his job as a WWE producer back in April as part of the company’s mass cuts. Since then, Angle has appeared as the referee in an NXT bout between Matt Riddle and Timothy Thatcher, and the Olympic Hero also reportedly turned down an offer to serve as Riddle’s on-screen manager once the Original Bro was moved to the main roster.
