Kurt Angle has returned to the ring several times since retiring.
Will he do it again next year?
If you ask the WWE and TNA Wrestling Hall of Fame legend and former Olympic gold medalist, it's not going to happen.
During a recent Sports Illustrated interview, Pittsburgh's own Kurt Angle spoke about filming a commercial for the NFL on CBS game this Sunday between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers while answering a question about a potential in-ring return for John Cena's 2025 WWE retirement tour.
"A lot of people ask me if I’m gonna wrestle Cena for his retirement tour [laughs]," Angle said. "No. No, listen, my body ... I have knee replacements, I had five neck surgeries, I had my back surgery last year. I have to have shoulder replacements. I am in no condition to be getting in the ring and wrestling."
He added, "Don’t get me wrong, I do some stuff, I’m actually doing a commercial for CBS tomorrow for the Steelers vs. Ravens game. Yeah, I’m gonna dress up in a Steelers singlet and Kyle Brandt is gonna dress up in a Ravens singlet and we’re gonna go at it. We’re gonna do this for a pre-game commercial for the Steelers/Ravens game on Sunday. I’m looking forward to that, I can do that stuff. I will do my own stunts, that’s about all I can do. I don’t think I can get in the ring. I can probably get in the ring and wrestle, but I don’t want to take the chance of getting injured."
