#1 Vince Russo has a surprising pick to win the Royal Rumble Match and challenge Brock Lesnar

Former WWE writer Vince Russo wants Kurt Angle to win the Men's Royal Rumble Match, following nearly three years of in-ring retirement. Speaking to Sportskeeda Wrestling's Dr. Chris Featherstone, he suggested Angle could face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38.

“I think he loses to Lesnar. I think Lesnar puts him over, you know what I’m saying? The whole handshake, hug, lifts his hand, the whole nine yards, and I think Angle leaves his boots in the ring knowing he left it all out there," said Russo. I’m telling you, I worked with all of them: they owe this to that guy.”

Russo believes the Olympic gold medalist deserves one last world title match and WWE owes it to him. A match between Angle and Lesnar would be a repeat of the classic they shared 19 years ago, in the main event of WrestleMania 19.
