Predicting WWE's WrestleMania 34 Card (One Year Out)

4. Kurt Angle Vs. Seth Rollins

Rusev, Cesaro, Kevin Owens, Roman Reigns, and even Daniel Bryan are all stars that Kurt Angle has name-checked as possible opponents for his impending WWE run.

A patriotic rivalry against Rusev makes sense, and a match with the now-retired Bryan would get pulses racing, but it's actually Seth Rollins who Angle has singled out as the one he'd most like to wrestle in WWE; Kurt told Title Match wrestling during a recent YouTube interview that Rollins is one of the best in the world and raises expectations whenever he steps foot inside the ring.

WWE's own plans shouldn't get in the way of Angle suggesting his own opponents though, because the former Olympian will know which wrestlers can work with his ageing body to produce the best match possible; Kurt has a history of being motivated by younger athletes in their prime, something evidenced by his work in TNA with the likes of AJ Styles, Bobby Roode, and others, so Rollins would be a nice fit.

Ideally, Seth would revert to the dark side as a heel for this one, because there's little chance Angle could successfully elicit boos from the audience during what is effectively his retirement tour.
