Baron Corbin Breaks Silence on Kurt Angle’s Remarks After WWE Release

WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle, a multiple-time world champion, had his final match against Baron Corbin. In 2018-2019, Corbin and Angle were involved in a heated rivalry that culminated in a match.

At WWE WrestleMania 35, Corbin defeated Angle in his retirement match, earning the honor of being the one to face the WWE Hall of Famer in his final bout. Following this significant victory, fans anticipated that Corbin would receive a major push in WWE. He won the 2019 King of the Ring tournament. However, the promotion never placed him in the main event scene or gave him a world title run.

On November 1, reports confirmed that Corbin would leave the WWE at the end of his contract, ending his twelve year tenure with the promotion. Reacting to this news, Kurt Angle expressed his disappointment with the WWE.

Angle felt that the promotion did not use his retirement match to elevate Corbin to a higher level. In response to these comments, former WWE Superstar Baron Corbin recently reacted, sending a heartfelt message to the Hall of Famer.

Baron Corbin shares regret over not becoming WWE world champion for Kurt Angle

Former WWE Superstar Baron Corbin sent out a message to Kurt Angle on X (formerly known as Twitter). Corbin expressed that one of his biggest regrets was not becoming a WWE World Champion. He felt it would be honored for what Kurt Angle did for his career.

While fans clamored for John Cena to be Kurt Angle’s final opponent, Angle himself had also expressed a desire to face Cena in his last match. However, the former WWE CEO Vince McMahon had already decided that Baron Corbin would be Angle’s opponent at WrestleMania 35.

Angle also revealed that McMahon told him that if he wanted Cena to be his final opponent, he would need to wait a year and face him at the next WrestleMania. However, the Hall of Famer decided to hang up his boots as he did not have to go another year.
