WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle recently underwent back surgery and has shared a positive update following the procedure.
The former multi-time world champion previously confirmed that he will attend the first half of WrestleMania 39. Kurt Angle said he would also be working on a few things for WWE.
On the latest edition of The Kurt Angle Show, he confirmed that he underwent back surgery and can feel the benefits. He revealed that he was facing problems with nerves running down his legs but has since recovered. He was quoted as saying:
"I think it actually worked. I don’t know yet, but I don’t have the pain going down my legs, so the operation definitely worked. I'm hoping that the pain in my back will subside, and hopefully it will in the next few days and then I'll feel really good about it. The doctor did a great job. He really did. I was having problems with my legs and the nerves going down my legs and that's all gone, so I'm good with that." (H/T WrestlingNews)
