Fans all over the world are celebrating at the news of Kurt Angle being named the first inductee into the 2017 WWE Hall of Fame. For years now, the WWE Universe has been eagerly awaiting the return of our Olympic Hero, but now the wait is over.
The official announcement was made during this week's episode of Monday Night Raw, letting fans know that this year's WWE Hall of Fame ceremony will be headlined by Kurt Angle.
With Angle heading into the Hall of fame, it's highly unlikely that we will see Kurt back in the ring, competing in singles action. However, that does not necessarily mean he's off the table completely. Having Angle test the waters in an authority type of capacity is something that he may enjoy, as well as being a way for fans to see him back on WWE TV.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
