Kurt Angle was one of the first to be suspended by WWE for Wellness Policy violations. The Olympic Gold medalist did not take this well and left the company for TNA soon.

However, after 11 years away, Angle returned to WWE as the general manager of Monday Night RAW in 2017. He has since then commented on the Wellness Policy and said:

“WWE has a great wellness policy now. You have to pass physicals through WWE doctors, not your own. But back then, I was convincing my doctor to get me back as soon as possible. As long as you were cleared by a doctor in 2003, WWE was OK with it. Now, they have their own doctors you have to go through. I rushed back in there long before I should have. That was my own fault, talking my doctor into clearing me.”

The Hall of Famer has now retired from in-ring performances and is working backstage.
