#2 Kurt Angle
The WWE Hall of Famer has a big possibility of retiring this year. Kurt Angle was a general manager after he returned to WWE, but he returned to the squared circle at TLC in 2017. The former Olympic Gold medalist made his WWE debut in 1999, and he has been wrestling for two decades.
Angle was a force to reckoned when he made WWE debut. He had memorable rivalries with the Rock, Stone Cold, Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, many more. As a matter of fact, Angle is a Grand Slam champion. He won the WWE title five times, US title once, Intercontinental title once, European title once, Hardcore title once and tag team title once. Angle also main-evented Wrestlemania 19.
Angle was the tag team partner of Ronda Rousey at Wrestlemania 34. However, his last few matches have been substandard, and it is clear that the company does not have any big plans for the former WWE champion. Angle lost to Dolph Ziggler at Crown Jewel, and Drew McIntyre beat him in a dominating fashion. Moreover, he lasted just three minutes in the Royal Rumble match where he entered at #4.
Kurt Angle has a huge legacy, and the poor booking is definitely hurting the stature. He has slowed down in the ring, and his recent matches have been bland. Therefore, it could be an ideal time to retire from the in-ring action.
