While speaking on his podcast, The Kurt Angle Show, Kurt Angle revealed that he was set to return for a three-week storyline before WrestleMania 38. However, WWE ultimately cancelled the storyline.

“I went to the Royal Rumble. The WWE wanted me to do a short program that they ended up canceling at the the very last moment, but we went to the Rumble, my wife and I. I also did some documentary interviews the day before, a photo op with the fans, but I want to make it clear I am in no waysigned to WWE. They were going to sign me anyway. It was going to be a three-week program. It got canceled, but you know, my obligation is to do the show, the Kurt Angle Show, and that’s it.”
