Kurt Angle made his return to the WWE for the 2017 WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony. In a recent interview with Fox Sports Australia, Angle was asked about his return to the Ring. He said that he thinks it will happen one day.
Kurt Angle said in the interview that he is ready to get In-Ring action but that is not up to him. Angle said that he won’t return until Vince McMahon signs off on it. The first thing that has to happen is for Angle to get clearance from McMahon.
Once Vince McMahon decides that he will give Kurt Angle a chance to wrestle in the WWE again, Kurt will have to pass a physical. Ever since Jerry Lawler had a heart attack on television after a match with Dolph Ziggler, McMahon and the WWE is very careful about the physical limitations of its talent.
Another question that some fans have is whether or not Kurt Angle can pass the WWE drug tests surrounding their Wellness Policy. The biggest reason the WWE chose to let him go to begin with, as well as the reason they took so long to welcome him back, was because of his battles with alcohol and pain pills.
Kurt Angle has to take the same random drug tests as the rest of the WWE superstars. Possibly, the more drug tests that Angle passes successfully, the more Vince McMahon will trust giving him another chance to wrestle again.
