If recent social media posts are anything to go by, Kurt Angle certainly looks ready for one final run inside of an AEW ring.

One of the major reasons that Kurt Angle decided to retire from in-ring competition in 2019 was his physical health. The former WWE Champion had noticed that the wear and tear of several neck surgeries and decades of professional wrestling was finally starting to catch up on his body.

When discussing his 2019 retirement match against Baron Corbin at WrestleMania 35 during a recent episode of The Kurt Angle Show on AdFreeShows, Angle revealed that his body was breaking down and he couldn't compete at the level that he used to anymore:

"You know, I understand why they did it. My body was breaking down, and I couldn't go at the level I used to, I think Vince McMahon gave me the retirement match, not that I exactly wanted, but I needed. I was just happy to have the match."

Kurt Angle physically ready for one last in-ring run in AEW?

However, since his retirement and eventual WWE release, Kurt Angle has kept himself busy by launching his own fitness supplements company Physically Fit Nutrition.

Furthermore, with this increased focus on his own fitness company, Kurt Angle has also increased the focus on his own physical fitness, perhaps ahead of a possible return to professional wrestling in AEW.

In a recent post on social media, Angle revealed that due to his improved physical health he is once again able to "train hard" and feels like he did at his professional wrestling peak.

"Damn it feels good to be able to train hard again.....feeling like I'm in my 30s"

Due to his improved physical state, it would appear that Angle's body is not breaking down like it was prior to his WWE retirement in 2019. Therefore, if Angle signed with AEW, he would be more than physically able to compete inside of an AEW ring.
