Angle wrestled his last match at WrestleMania 35, where he lost to Baron Corbin and retired from active in-ring competition.

During a recent episode of his podcast, Angle revealed that he would have to undergo fusion surgery soon to fix some severe issues with his neck.

"Well, my neck is not that great. I have a lot of motor skill problems in my hands and in my fingers because of my neck. Numbness down my arms. I have a lot of pain in my neck. I've been putting off fusion surgery for gosh, 15 years, and I may not be able to put it off much longer. I'm going to eventually have to have fusion surgery," revealed Angle.

Don’t be fooled by the sexy icy hot patch on the back of my 20 inch neck @therock, 😂 I can still wrestle one more match….. maybe next time! Be happy my kid was there. By the way, great movie. The kids loved it 😃 Go see @disneysjunglecruise everybody! 👍 #itstrue pic.twitter.com/pvRs1qjoSx

Angle is in phenomenal physical condition in the photo above, and as we've learned countless times before, anything is possible in wrestling. Would you be up for a match between God's Favorite Champion and The Olympic Hero in AEW?
