#3 Kevin Owens

KO

Kevin Owens is one of the most-talented wrestlers of WWE, and he is a great candidate to face Kurt Angle. Currently, he is out of action due to a knee injury, but he is expected to be back before WrestleMania.

Owens was a veteran in the squared circle before WWE signed him in 2014. As a matter of fact, he wrestled on the indie circuit for 15 years. He had a remarkable start to his WWE career, and he became the NXT Champion. He had top-notch feuds with Neville, Sami Zayn, Finn Balor, and Samoa Joe.

Owens moved to the main roster in 2015, and he beat John Cena in his debut match at Elimination Chamber. He has already achieved notable success on the main roster, as he has won the US title thrice, Intercontinental title once, and the Universal title once.

Kevin Owens will get a boost in his career if he faces Kurt Angle after his return from injury. These two exceptional in-ring performers can steal the show at WrestleMania 35.

#2 Finn Balor

Finn Balor

Finn Balor could be an ideal opponent for Kurt Angle, and they can offer an incredible match to the WWE Universe. Balor beat Drew McIntyre at TLC, and he also won the triple threat match on Raw. Therefore, he has good momentum to face an opponent like Kurt Angle at WrestleMania 35.

Finn Balor was widely known for his tenure in Japan where he wrestled 8 years. WWE signed him in 2014, and he had an astonishing start to his WWE career. He won the NXT title, and he had several memorable feuds. As a matter of fact, Balor was the longest reigning NXT Champion, and his title reign lasted 292 days.

Balor made his main roster debut in 2016, and he pinned Roman Reigns in his debut match. Subsequently, he became the first ever Universal Champion, but he had to relinquish his title due to an injury. However, Balor's run has not been the same after he returned from injury.

Balor's stature will increase if he locks horns with Kurt Angle at WrestleMania 35. He has not been in the title picture for over two years, and he might start to get a push after WrestleMania if he manages to beat Kurt Angle.

#1 Bobby Lashley

Lashley

Bobby Lashley could be a perfect choice for Kurt Angle, and he is number one on this list. Currently, Lashley is having a feud with Elias, but it is unlikely to continue till WrestleMania. He has not been in an impressive feud after he returned to WWE this year, but he could have a good rivalry with Kurt Angle.

Lashley made his WWE debut in 2005, and he stayed three years in his first WWE run. He had several remarkable feuds. He won the ECW title twice, and the US title once. WWE released him in 2008. Subsequently, Lashley had a bright career on TNA.

Bobby Lashley and Kurt Angle never locked horns in WWE, but they locked horns a couple of times in TNA. They are competent enough to provide an astonishing match at WrestleMania 35.
