Bengaluru, March 21: For the past two weeks, the internet community of wrestling has been in a buzz after Kurt Angle announced his retirement match will happen at Wrestlemania 35. Last week, the buzz was about who will be the former world champion's opponent in his last match.
And this week after the name was revealed on Monday Night Raw, the buzz has entirely turned sour and it could lead to a potential change in the lineup.
Kurt Angle himself confirmed that the former acting general manager of Raw, Baron Corbin will be his opponent at Wrestlemania 35. Understandably, the WWE Universe was very unhappy with this announcement. They expected to see a big name pitted against the WWE Hall of Famer in the farewell match, but that is not the case now.
Veteran commentator Jim Ross stated that the match will be an underwhelming experience for the wrestling fans. Meanwhile, Angle’s wife also took to twitter to show her disappointments with this matchup. She claimed that her husband deserves a better opponent than Baron Corbin which later needed a clarification. But this started the rumours that WWE might decide to change this Wrestlemania match lineup.
Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, Rey Mysterio, John Cena, and The Undertaker were originally on the list to face Kurt Angle in his retirement match. However, the creative team may have big plans with all of them. Hence, they opted to choose a filler name like Baron Corbin to deliver a send-off match. Only two more episodes of WWE Raw are to come before Wrestlemania and it is extremely unlikely that WWE will make a change to this particular match featuring the 2017 Hall of Famer. But, you never know what goes on in the McMahons heads sometimes.
