Release from WWE a 'blessing in disguise' for Kurt Angle

Kurt Angle has claimed that getting released from WWE was a blessing in disguise for him. The Hall of Famer was talking to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated when he spoke about the recent release from the company.

The Olympic Gold medalist revealed that he was asked to manage Matt Riddle by WWE and he turned it down. Angle added that he was happy with the release as he can now focus on his business and also recovery from his body issues. He said:

“WWE offered me a job to manage Matt Riddle. Unfortunately, I turned it down. I just have so much going with my business, Physically Fit Nutrition, and I need to make sure it succeeds before I do anything else.”

“It was almost a blessing in disguise that WWE released me. The business started picking up orders, and we’re at a point where I really need to be here.”

“I’m almost 100% I won’t wrestle again, but if I did, that’s the direction I would have went. I imagine WWE was going to go with me managing Riddle and then, eventually, probably a match between the two of us.”
