Where in the world is Kurt Angle?

Fans haven't seen the former Raw General Manager since the night after TLC 2018, when he, Chad Gable, Bobby Roode, Apollo Crews, and Heath Slater battered Baron Corbin. Angle has remained silent ever since, though it's unlikely that WWE will keep a popular performer with such name value on the sidelines much longer.

Kurt sent the rumour mill swirling when he teased a Rumble appearance last month. It'd be a nice easy spot for him to get a great pop, work the crowd up, then make his exit without too much wear and tear on his ailing body. Low risk, high reward.
