Kurt Angle Speaks Out Against Recent Reports Regarding His Wrestling Status

Following reports that supposedly confirmed Kurt Angle would not be returning to WWE and other speculative statements, Angle posted the following to his Facebook page:

In response to some of your questions today regarding the WWE, and all of the media fanfare about it the last few days, I want to, once again, say that our confidential conversation never discussed the brand split. A few wrestling sites seem to have put a spin on this by twisting some words around to fit their agenda, something that I have no control over. What I CAN control is my own life, and my life isn’t only wrestling. I do not expect to be in wrestling much longer. I AM excited about my future. Thank you.

Angle originally told Mark Madden during a recent interview that he had talks with WWE and Triple H a few weeks ago, and his WWE return would happen, he just wasn’t sure when. In addition, Angle also said he hadn’t spoken to anyone in the company since the brand split announcement, and that all previous talks were about working with other talents, and he wasn’t part of brand split plans.
