WWE: Kurt Angle Removed from Indy Wrestling Booking This Saturday

Kurt Angle has been removed from his booking with Dominant Wrestling. This was announced by 5 Star Wrestling. Angle was scheduled to do commentary for this Saturday’s episode of Dominant Wrestling from the Dundee Ice Arena in Dundee, Scotland.

The following is part of 5 Star Wrestling’s statement from their Facebook page.

Saturday’s debut episode of Dominant Wrestling will air on Spike TV UK at 8:00 pm ET, and will be featuring Rey Mysterio, Johnny Mundo (John Morrison), Drew Galloway (Drew McIntyre) and PJ Black (Justin Gabriel).

Mark’s reaction: WWE likely required Angle to drop this booking since he’s going to be a part of WWE’s Hall of Fame Class of 2017. It’s also clearly the same weekend as Royal Rumble weekend, which raises suspicion as to whether or not Angle will show his face on WWE TV this weekend or even enter the Royal Rumble match this Sunday, January 29. I think an Angle appearance in the Royal Rumble match is likely and something I’d love to see!
