Part of the reason for this could be the fact that Angle left WWE in 2006 and it was only last year that he returned after he was announced as the headliner for the Hall of Fame, class of 2017.
Kurt Angle is currently the RAW GM, but is also an active competitor and his last match was against Triple H and Stephanie McMahon when he teamed up with Ronda Rousey- who was making her WWE debut - to pick up the win against the two at Wrestlemania 34.
So, it is highly Likely that Angle will be a participant in the 50-man Royal Rumble and since they would require a star with a high popularity quotient winning it, Kurt would be a perfect candidate.
