As noted, WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle appeared on last night’s RAW in his hometown of Pittsburgh, PA to announce his farewell match for WrestleMania 35. He has not named an opponent yet.
Angle would then defeat Apollo Crews in the first match of his farewell tour. Here is video of what happened during the commercial break inside the PPG Paints Arena after Angle announced the farewell as Angle greeted fans at ringside.
Below is video of Angle talking to the WWE camera about the retirement match at WrestleMania 35. Angle said it was tough to come to the decision but it has been “nipping” at him for the past year. Angle acknowledged he can still get around the ring but he doesn’t want to perform if he can’t go like he did in 2006. Angle also said he wants to keep his legacy intact. Angle went on and said he has to work harder than he ever has for the next 27 days if he wants to perform like he wants to at WrestleMania.
Regarding a possible opponent for the farewell match, Angle said, “There are a lot of names that were thrown in there, from John Cena to AJ Styles to [WWE United States Champion] Samoa Joe to Drew McIntyre, Baron Corbin, [WWE Intercontinental Champion] Bobby Lashley. So, you never know who it’s going to be, I just hope that I do win and have a great WrestleMania moment.”
