WWE News: Kurt Angle Claims He's Not Wrestling at Royal Rumble

Thanks to TMZ for sending this in:

WWE Hall of Fame inductee Kurt Angle says he ain’t ruling out a return to wrestling
— but he’s adamant the rumors of a surprise appearance at this weekend’s Royal
Rumble are simply not true.

Angle recently pulled out of a Jan 28 wrestling event in Scotland — the same
weekend as the Rumble — and some people thought it was a clue that Angle was
clearing the deck for a Royal surprise.

But TMZ Sports spoke with the former WWE World Heavyweight champ who put it
bluntly — “Royal Rumble is not gonna happen.”

“A lot of people are assuming it, a lot of writers are writing about it … I
haven’t talked to WWE about anything after WWE Hall of Fame.”

Angle is set to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in March — and says he’s
excited about his future with Vince McMahon’s company … which could definitely
involve a return to action.

There’s more … Angle also thinks Hulk Hogan could get a 2nd chance with the WWE —
soooo, old-school rematch???
