Kurt Angle’s daughter is already learning the family business, but her latest training session came with some damage.
The WWE Hall of Famer revealed on Instagram on July 6, 2026, that his daughter Nikoletta has been working on his moonsault, and this time she landed it a little too well. Angle said Nikoletta had been begging to learn the move and practicing on the trampoline for weeks. Then she finally tried it on him, and according to Angle, she nailed it.
“My daughter Nikoletta has been begging to learn my moonsault and has been practicing nonstop on the trampoline these past few weeks. Today, while she was practicing on me, she gave it everything she had and she nailed it!”
The problem is Angle paid the price. In the photo he posted, he showed off what looked like a busted tooth while Nikoletta hugged him. Angle still sounded like a proud dad, but he admitted his wife probably won’t be thrilled since this happened right before a family vacation. Angle also joked that his dentist is going to have some fun with this one.
“Even though this is a very proud dad moment for me, I have a feeling my wife won’t be too thrilled with me since I promised I wouldn’t wrestle with the kids on the trampoline, especially right before our family vacation.”
“I can already imagine my dentist having a laugh about this one!”
Nikoletta apparently felt bad after realizing she may have hurt her dad, but Angle did what dads do and told her everything was fine. He even worked the tooth fairy into it.
“She got a bit upset thinking she hurt her daddy, but I reassured her that everything would be okay. After all, the tooth fairy is a friend of mine, and he’ll be excited to see his Olympic Hero again!”
“Practice makes perfect, Letty, even if it means your dad might lose a tooth or two along the way!”
Angle has taken plenty of hard hits in his career, but this one came from inside the house. Nikoletta got the moonsault down, Angle got a dental appointment, and his wife now has a pretty solid reason to ban trampoline wrestling before vacation.
Do you think Kurt Angle should keep teaching Nikoletta wrestling moves after this, or is it time to retire the trampoline training? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comments section below.
