It’s no secret that Kurt Angle has become a shadow of his older days. He used to be one of the benchmark performers that we have in the pro-wrestling industry. But now, he can barely move inside the ring that was definitely an indication of his potential retirement. He confirmed it further on this week’s WWE Raw by stating to have a farewell match at Wrestlemania 35.
Dream match waiting for Hardy Boyz
Age has left its mark on Kurt Angle’s body. After spending over 20 years in this business, he must be feeling numb inside. As a result, his slow movement in between the matches has become a regular thing. There are far better and agile athletes are available on the roster who can deliver way more than the six-time world champion.
But Kurt Angle is a Hall of Famer who deserves a proper send-off match before hanging up the boots for good. So it is likely that WWE would arrange the very best for him in the final match that he will compete in. Slice Wrestling has now provided an update on who could be the four names that would take on him at Wrestlemania.
Four names are on the shortlist as per the source. They are,
– John Cena
– Triple H
– The Undertaker
– Rey Mysterio
Starting from Triple H, he has already entered a storyline with Batista. The latter one returned seeking the attention of the WWE COO. So he attacked the birthday boy Ric Flair. This angle will unfold more in the upcoming weeks leading to a Wrestlemania match. So Triple H is not available for Kurt Angle.
The Undertaker comes up with his very best when it comes to Wrestlemania. It is the grandest event of the year that needs a marquee match from him. So WWE is not likely to put a slow mover like Kurt Angle against the most furious striker. At this age, these two may not be able to deliver an exciting match that will live up to the expectations.

Rey Mysterio is also involved in a rivalry against Andrade on Smackdown. They are likely to feature in a singles contest which WWE would book as a battle between two Mexican icons. This is a match tailor-made for Wrestlemania and WWE would not miss a chance to book this one. Rey belonging to Smackdown also eliminates from the race of being the opponent of Kurt Angle.
This leaves John Cena as the most valiant option to be the rumored opponent for Kurt Angle at Wrestlemania. The Cenation Leader has started his career competing in a match against the Olympic Gold Medalist. So it remains justified why he is the perfect man to compete in the final match for the legend. We are likely to get a confirmation on this match once Fastlane gets over.
