#6 Kurt Angle reacts to WWE legend Paul Wight’s signing with AEW

Kurt Angle shared his opinion on Big Show's move to AEW

In his recent podcast, WWE legend Kurt Angle discussed Paul Wight, aka Big Show’s recent signing with AEW. Angle revealed that Vince McMahon helped Big Show when the latter lost a lot of money. He then said that both Vince McMahon and Big Show had shown loyalty to each other in WWE:

"Yes. I always thought that Paul would be with the WWE for the rest of his life. I mean, they treat him really well. They did a lot for Big Show. You know, when he quit and went to be a boxer, you know, he lost a bunch of money, and Vince helped him out a little bit and got him back in the game. There are a lot of things that occurred that, you know, Vince McMahon showed his loyalty to Big Show, and Big Show showed it back, no doubt about it."

Angle also revealed that he always thought that Big Show would stay with WWE forever. He speculated that Big Show might have felt underappreciated in WWE over the last couple of years and moved to AEW to seek change.
