6 shocking moments that happened backstage in WWE

#5 Angle comes home

Angle returned to WWE in 2017 after over a decade away.

The return of Kurt Angle was a long time coming, with both Angle and the company seemingly burying all previous grudges formed in his 11-year absence.

But things were not always as good, as it was Kurt who first requested a return to the WWE, but after a stint in rehab, the company wanted nothing to do with him.

Fortunately, Angle persevered, and eventually got a call from Triple H, who said the company now did want the Olympian back but weren’t sure what role they’d have for him.

Visiting the WWE headquarters in Connecticut, Angle was rightly worried, as he had not seen McMahon since leaving due to drug issues in 2006.

But the second the two met, the Chairman embraced Angle like a long-lost son, with Kurt apologising for his past misdeeds, and helped lay the foundation for what would be Angle rightly entering the WWE Hall of Fame.
