Kurt Angle's return to WWE in 2017 was a truly welcomed sight.

After spending over a decade away, the Olympian returned to be inducted into the company's Hall of Fame, and quickly found himself the GM of Monday Night RAW after WrestleMania 33.

Cody Rhodes' uncle is a WWE Hall of Famer. More details HERE.

During his absence though, Angle would find himself a new home in TNA/Impact Wrestling, becoming one of the company's top stars and a multiple-time world champion.

During the April 10th, 2018 edition of RAW, Angle name-dropped his old employer, telling Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn (who had failed to win back contracts with WWE at WrestleMania 34) that "TNA is hiring."

The most public reference to Impact on WWE TV, it seems that the McMahon-led promotion no longer sees their old competition as a threat anymore.
