WWE offered me a job to manage Matt Riddle. Unfortunately, I turned it down. I just have so much going with my business, Physically Fit Nutrition, and I need to make sure it succeeds before I do anything else

Kurt was also asked about his potential return to the world of pro-wrestling. His last appearance in the ring was against Baron Corbin at Wrestlemania 35. Since then, Angle has been holding back from performing in the ring and focusing more on making his body better, after years and years of physical punishment. Right now, I can’t. Could my mind be changed? Yes, for two reasons. I’m working on my business, and I’ve been doing a lot of rehab on my body. Trying to get myself back to where I’m able to live a healthy lifestyle. I’d been so banged up—my neck, my back, and my neck—but I’m making improvements.

Besides his pro-wrestling career, and his time in the WWE, Angle also opened up about his future, with his businesses. We have chicken snacks called Chxn Snx, and they will be a number one seller. This will not only be available on Amazon, but also in convenience stores, health food stores, groceries, and bulk stores like Costco and Sam’s Club
