WWE legend to return after 6 years to fight John Cena on his retirement tour? Chances are high!

Next year is sure to be a notable one for John Cena in WWE, as the Cenation Leader is set to kick off his retirement tour from the squared circle. The 16-time World Champion has already alluded to appearing on RAW's debut show on Netflix in January.

Cena has also already expressed his intention to compete and appear at several Premium Live Events in 2025. Amid this, there's a possibility that WWE legend Kurt Angle might return to in-ring competition after six years to face John Cena during his retirement tour next year.

The reason for this speculation comes from a recent comment by the veteran about potentially facing Cena during his upcoming retirement tour. The former RAW General Manager mentioned that if he got the call, he could make it happen, though he doubts he could physically pull it off. However, Angle also voiced how much he would adore to be a part of Cena's retirement matches next year.

Kurt Angle's assertion clearly shows that he's curious about making a comeback for another match and being part of Cena's retirement tour. Cena and Angle have history together in WWE, with Cena making his debut by accepting Angle’s open challenge in 2002.

It would certainly be a nostalgic moment for fans if Angle and Cena competed in the ring once more, and if the WWE legend became a part of John Cena's retirement tour.

Is the WWE legend medically cleared to compete in the ring again?

Despite his willingness to be part of John Cena's retirement tour, Kurt Angle still needs medical clearance to compete in the squared circle. This raises the question: Is the Olympic Gold Medalist medically cleared to wrestle again? Unfortunately, the answer is disappointing for fans, as Angle has confirmed that he is not in physical condition to take bumps.

"Listen, I'm sure if I made a call, I could make it happen. But there's no way I can do it. But I would love to, you know, be one of John Cena's retirement matches," Angle said. [47:13-47:25]

This ensures that, for now, the Hall of Famer is not in the condition to wrestle again. However, this condition may change if something exceptional happens.

The last time Kurt Angle wrestled in WWE was at WrestleMania 35, nearly five years ago, during his retirement tour, where he suffered a loss to Baron Corbin in his final match. Fans of the Olympic Gold Medalist would indeed love to see him in the ring for one more match, if possible.
