All of the internet wrestling community has been buzzing with regard to the scandal concerning the General Manager of Raw and the mysterious texts that he has been receiving. Nobody seems to know what is up, except for the ‘Savior of Misbehaviour’- Corey Graves.
There has been speculation aplenty from various sources, including WWE’s own YouTube channel. The fact of the matter is that WWE has created a compelling hook that has finally achieved the impossible- got the internet guessing. Fear not. We bring you 5 plausible scenarios, and we’re certain that one of them is certainly on the mark. Read on.
#5 He has an illegitimate child
Kurt Angle certainly has inspired many superstars in the wrestling world. One among them is Chad Gable, one-half of American Alpha, a team that has slipped under the radar in the recent past. There is much speculation on the internet that Gable, a man who incorporates some of Angle’s moves, is the Olympic Gold Medalist’s illegitimate son.
This is further fuelled by the fact that Gable is a former Olympian as well. Since American Alpha’s their tag team run is not heading anywhere, this may certainly be a good route to tread upon, to reboot the talented man's career and establish him as a top player in the company.

Some have even speculated that Braun Strowman may be Kurt Angle's son which is why he gets to do all that he does and get away with it. As unlikely as this possibility is in 2017, we will learn the truth very soon.
#4 Stephanie McMahon wants him gone
One of the earliest segments with regard to this storyline showed Kurt Angle being called a disgrace and an embarrassment. Why would anyone send him such messages but his boss? Who has more power than the Raw General Manager? We can only think of two such people. The first, Vince McMahon, appointed him to the post and this rules him out of the equation for now. The other is The Commissioner of Raw: Stephanie McMahon.
Ever since Stephanie McMahon took a table bump at Wrestlemania 33 and got written off TV, fans have wondered when she would return. We recently published another article in which we rubbished the idea of a romantic relationship between Angle and Stephanie, considering she is the Chief Brand Offer of WWE.
That does not mean that she can't confront him as the top heel of the brand and threaten to sack him! It’ll be a repeat of the Foley-Stephanie McMahon, so it may not really be interesting unless it does lead to an Angle vs. Triple H match at Summerslam in Brooklyn. Angle’s announcement, in this case, may be that his days are numbered.
#3 Mick Foley wants his old job back
We’ve seen scenarios in the past, where two General Managers called the shots on a given brand. This always invariably leads to a conflict or a clash between the two. WWE may have planned such a rift between Foley and Angle, two Hall of Famers. Foley may be in utter shock (kayfabe) at how chaotic Raw has become since he’s been gone from the show and may want his old job back. An interesting possibility is that he may be blackmailing Angle with details about his past with Stephanie McMahon.
#2 He knows about The Undertaker’s return
The Undertaker does not lose at Wrestlemania. The last time he lost at the pay-per-view, he made his opponent, Brock Lesnar’s life a living hell, as he returned for retribution. He even cost The Beast his title match against Rollins. This year, he was seemingly retired by Roman Reigns. Why would there be no repercussion for an act this big, especially with Reigns claiming that it was his yard now!
Kurt Angle could announce, in a scared voice, that he knew that The Undertaker was far from done and that he would bring destruction to Raw until Reigns was put to justice. This would be a big-ticket storyline heading into Summerslam 2017.
#1 Affair with Dixie Carter
Eric Bischoff recently revealed that Dixie Carter and Kurt Angle might be part of a storyline on RAW, that is a reboot of the infamous AJ Styles and Claire angle from TNA. As unexciting as this prospect is, it will definitely be a thrill to see Dixie Carter on a WWE television show at long last.
It was shocking to see her in the WWE Network Special, and we're certain that she's the woman that's been sending the messages to Angle, considering WWE won't just have a one-and-done deal with their controversial, age-old rival. Angle professed that he loved the person on the other line and Dixie Carter could certainly be the woman on the phone with him. After all, she was his boss for a decade.
We totally expect Kurt Angle to announce that he's been involved with Dixie Carter. This is further augmented by the fact that Raw will be in Nashville, Dixie’s hometown. Stay tuned to the website for more updates from Raw, SmackDown and NXT. See you, soon!
