Kurt Angle recently shared his thoughts on this year's Royal Rumble winners. Edge emerged victorious in the Men's Royal Rumble match, while Bianca Belair won the Women's match. Angle believes that Belair is a very hot and upcoming talent.

Kurt Angle is a former WWE Superstar and Hall of Famer. Angle had a very successful 23-year wrestling career and wrestled for a number of promotions. His most notable one was a combined 12-year stint with WWE, working with the company from 1998-2006 and then from 2017-2020.

During a Q&A session on his Facebook page, Kurt Angle answered a question from a fan regarding this year's winners of the Royal Rumble. The Olympic Gold Medalist said that both Edge and Bianca Belair were spectacular and deserved to win.

"I think they deserve it, they're both spectacular. Edge is proven. Bianca is a very hot, upcoming talent."

Bianca Belair made history at the Royal Rumble and is certainly destined for greatness in WWE. Edge, on the other hand, won the Royal Rumble for the second time in his career. The Rated-R Superstar made a triumphant return at the same PPV in 2020, thus coming out of retirement and returning to the ring after a gap of almost nine years.
