10 WWE Superstars Kurt Angle should face in 2017

The first inductee of the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2017 will be Kurt Angle

#4 Rusev

WWE superstar Rusev
This feud writes itself!

This list couldn’t have existed without the obligatory American pride angle, right?

Time and time again when Rusev and Lana are in the ring and ranting about the United States of America, WWE fans bite their nails, hoping to hear Kurt Angle’s theme so he can come out to teach The Bulgarian Brute a lesson.

A few years back when he was holding the United States Championship and had an undefeated streak going, this angle was heavily speculated. In the end, WWE went with the John Cena direction, but that doesn’t mean some of that magic can’t be recaptured in 2017.

After this past election, the political climate is ripe to tap into the standardised storyline of USA vs. Russia and since we’ve already seen Cena, Swagger and plenty of others come to America’s defence against Rusev, there’s no better candidate right now to fill that void than Kurt Angle.

Even if this doesn’t become an official match, there is absolutely no way Angle can be in the WWE family again without this feud being addressed at some point.
