Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar faced each other at WrestleMania XIX for the WWE Championship. Angle had headed into the match as the WWE Champion and was supposed to put Brock Lesnar over by losing the WWE Championship.

While Lesnar did come out as the WWE Champion, things did not go according to plan as Brock Lesnar's attempt at a shooting star press went awry and the former WWE Champion landed on his neck.

Speaking to the Wrestling Perspective podcast, Kurt Angle revealed that he thought Lesnar might not have been able to get up and he would have had to retain the WWE Championship, despite being injured himself.

''The first thing I thought when he landed on his head, I said, 'S***! I'm gonna have to hold the title for another month.' The reason why I lost to him, I was supposed to have a good title run for a while and I broke my neck again and I had to have surgery."H/T: WrestleZone

Kurt Angle stated that he had to lift Brock Lesnar up, following which Lesnar was able to F-5 Angle and pin him.
