It’s been a long time since Kurt Angle burst onto the scene after winning an Olympic gold medal in 1996. This match is reportedly going to be his last in-ring encounter in WWE. That will give him a huge emotional lift going into WrestleMania.

One of the most interesting questions about this match is whether or not he’ll really face Baron Corbin. That’s the match-up the WWE is publicizing at the moment, but there are persistent rumors about a bigger star replacing Corbin before the bell rings. If someone like John Cena finds his way into the ring with Angle, it could blow the proverbial roof off of the whole event.

Even if Angle does end up facing Corbin, the crowd is going to go wild for him in his last match. That’s going to give him a chance to turn back the clock and put in a performance for the ages. That may not be the most likely occurrence, but Angle was once one of the most technically talented wrestlers on the planet. If he can show that one more time, he’s going to have his biggest WrestleMania moment ever.

It’s safe to assume this match will conclude with a classic Angle finish, but he needs the middle of the match to be just as good. If he pulls that off, he’ll be the biggest winner in WrestleMania 35.
