Kurt Angle says he’d wrestle for a hefty payday at a WWE show in Saudi Arabia, regardless of his bad knees.
The WWE Hall of Famer hasn’t wrestled since he lost his retirement match to Baron Corbin at WrestleMania 35 in 2019. He previously stated that he had offers from AEW, but he turned them down, While Angle has appeared on WWE programming multiple times since his retirement, he has been utilized in non-wrestling roles. But if the money was right, Angle would lace up his boots again.
Speaking on The Kurt Angle Show, The WWE Hall of Famer commented on the rumor that Shawn Michaels was paid $3 million for his match at WWE Crown Jewel 2018, where he and Triple H defeated The Undertaker and Kane.
“I’m not a WWE lifer,” Angle said. “Shawn is, so his loyalty is still with the WWE, and they paid him very well for it.
When asked if he’d think about it if the company offered him $3 million to wrestle at an event in Saudi Arabia, Angle stated that he’d do it in a second, regardless of the fact that he had double knee replacement surgery last year.
“What are you talking about? I’d do it in a second,” Angle said. “Good knees or bad knees, I’d do it in a second.”
Angle recently discussed how he had to switch up his milk-drinking routine after his surgery. More information is available here.
