Kurt Angle To Face Bobby Roode & Drew Galloway On TNA Retirement Tour This Month

Kurt Angle and Dixie Carter both confirmed on their social media pages that Angle will be facing Bobby Roode and Drew Galloway later this month, in what's being billed as his TNA "farewell tour." Angle made his intentions clear last year that he would be retiring from TNA after his contract expires this month.

The Olympic gold medalist will be facing Galloway on 1/29 at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England. Then he'll take on Bobby Roode on 1/30 at SSE Wembley in London. This UK tour will end Angle's contract with TNA.

His first post-TNA gig will be as a commentator for Bellator MMA’s live Spike TV show on February 19. The main event is Royce Gracie vs. Ken Shamrock, and Kurt Angle has stated he may take a fight with Shamrock later this year. In November, the former WWE & TNA champion signed a deal with a publisher for a new autobiography.
