#2 The Shield comes to Angle’s aid

It wouldn't be out of place for The Shield to get involved in Kurt Angle's business.

One of the original premises of The Shield was that they fought against injustice in WWE, and there’s a pretty fair argument to be made that Kurt Angle ending his career in a match with Baron Corbin is an injustice.

Particularly given Angle’s interactions with the trio in the past—including becoming an honorary member to fill in for Roman Reigns in the fall of 2017—it would make all the more sense for them to concern themselves with the Olympic hero. The trio has had issues with Corbin, too,

This can all go down pretty simply with Corbin getting a bit too braggadocios on Raw, only for the Hounds of Justice to put him in his place (and through an announce table). They could follow it up by calling out Angle and telling him he deserves better.

Conservatively, this oculd lead to Angle vs. Dean Ambrose, who isn’t booked for ‘Mania at this point. Alternatively, a legend could easily enough get subbed in.
