Kurt Angle is gearing up for an in-ring return, which explains the storyline that he has been temporarily relieved of his duties as RAW General Manager.

Angle has wrestled several high-profile matches this year. He teamed with Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania against Triple H and Stephanie. Many people considered that the best match on the card. He later wrestled at the Greatest Royal Rumble from Saudi Arabia.

At this time, there is no definitive word on who Angle will feud with when he returns. Baron Corbin or Triple H seem like logical options.

A championship celebration took place on Monday’s Raw featuring new Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey. Women’s Revolution creator Stephanie McMahon and many other top female stars were in attendance. During the segment, Stephanie tried to project Rousey as her protégé, but it ended with the Commissioner in an arm bar once again.

Later in the show, Baron Corbin was quick to put the blame for Stephanie’s assault on Kurt Angle. Stephanie agreed that Angle failed to maintain order, resulting in her own physical pain. As a result, she put Kurt Angle on mandatory vacation and made Corbin the acting Raw General Manager.

It was just a few weeks ago that Kurt Angle stated he’d like to become World Champion one more time.
