After working with WWE for almost the entirety of his career, Kurt Angle decided to leave the company in 2006. Angle went on to sign a contract with Impact Wrestling and had a memorable stint there as well. Back in 2014, Angle contacted WWE for a potential return to the company. Unfortunately for him, WWE wasn't even interested in having talks with him.

“Paul [Levesque] is in charge. I found that out when I contacted Vince. I’ve always had a good relationship with Paul, so I didn’t consider that a problem. But he decided they had enough talent. For the Vince McMahon who I knew, enough was never enough. He always wanted more. I don’t know what was going on over there, but they even canceled our meeting. I never went to see them. They didn’t even sit me down and talk to me.”

Around three years later, WWE announced that Angle was to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. On the RAW after WrestleMania 33, Mr. McMahon revealed Angle as the new RAW GM. At WrestleMania 35, he lost to King Corbin in his retirement match.
