In a WWE.com exclusive video posted to YouTube, Kurt Angle expanded on what it meant to wrestle his longtime TNA rival AJ Styles during his farewell tour on Smackdown.
“It felt great to be back, it’s been a long time. It’s disappointing that I didn’t get to have my full match with AJ Styles due to Randy Orton but I’ll take it. The fans came, they watched me one last time, and it felt great being out there. I just had fun.”
Kurt also expanded about heading into his final week as an active competitor on the WWE roster.
“I don’t know if anyone’s quite ready for retirement, especially in this business. It’s tough because this is what you did for 20-something years. I wrestled my whole life, 45 years. It’s hard just to walk away from it, but there comes a time where you know your body isn’t going to be able to hold up like it used to. You have to look at your options, and one option is that you want to be healthy for the rest of your life.
