A Royal Rumble win may be the only achievement that has eluded ‘The Olympic Gold Medalist’
Angle has been in three Rumble matches and has performed well in two of those matches. Angle was the runner-up in the 2002 Royal Rumble match, and he finished third in the 2004 Rumble match. However in 2005, he was eliminated within seconds, but that was because he had a championship match earlier in the night.
A Royal Rumble win may be the only achievement that has eluded ‘The Olympic Gold Medalist’, but he has come really close on a few occasions. It still doesn’t take anything away from a pretty stellar career.

A wrestling aficionado since childhood, Sunil used to imitate his favorite wrestlers as a young kid, and started writing professionally about the sport via Sportskeeda’s revenue-sharing opportunity.
Sunil admires former world champions AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, and Kenny Omega for their ability to consistently deliver great matches as well as entertain crowds with their mic skills.
If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
