WWE TLC 2017: 8 Things WWE Got Right

2. Not Giving Kurt Angle His Own Entrance

WWE must be saving that first proper Kurt Angle entrance for another date, because he was instead treated like an honorary member of The Shield at TLC. Forget the fact he resembled someone's dad filling in for a mate on a stag night and the way WWE presented Angle becomes brilliant. They teased us. Oh, how they teased us.

Fans have wanted to see Angle make a WWE comeback and wrestle for years now. He's since done both, although we haven't witnessed that full entrance to his own music with the singlet. Kurt didn't even fully ditch the riot gear and pull on his usual outfit when returning late on to the TLC main event, even if he did come out to his trademark tune.

The fact WWE and Angle refrained from doing this shows they know how cool a moment it will be when it finally happens. That alone is WrestleMania-worthy, and we can't wait to see it. There was no need to give it away at TLC. Fans got enough out of Kurt's performance without seeing the whole show.
