<p>As we reported yesterday, recently released WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle will be making an appearance during this week’s episode of NXT.</p>



<p><a href="https://api.wrestlingworld.co/news/kurt-angle-announced-as-special-guest-referee-for-nxt-match/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Angle will be the special guest referee</a> for the Cage Fight match between Timothy  Thatcher and Matt Riddle.</p>



<p>Naturally the news has resulted in some speculation about what this means for Angle’s future with WWE. Is this a one-off appearance? Or a sign that Angle might be on the way to being rehired.</p>



<p>Angle recently posted a video on his Twitter feed talking about the match. According to Angle, he had been invited as a special guest referee by NXT General Manager William Regal.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>&#8220;He came up with an innovative way to settle the score between Matt Riddle and Timothy Thatcher,” said Angle about Regal.</p></blockquote>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“It&#8217;s a Cage Fight. Not a Cage Match, a Cage Fight, and there are only two ways to win: knockout or tap out,” he added.</p></blockquote>

<p>Still no word about what this means for Angle’s future with the WWE.</p>



<p>Current WWE Champion <strong>Drew McIntyre</strong> had his “WrestleMania Moment” this year when he beat Brock Lesnar for the championship. However, according to an interview he recently did, he could have had a big moment earlier, at WrestleMania 26.</p>



<p>McIntyre told <em>BT Sport</em> that he had been scheduled to face The Undertaker that year. However, the match didn’t go through and the Undertaker instead had a rematch with Shawn Michaels.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“The inevitable goal was to have a big match between him and I. Unfortunately, I wasn’t ready at the time. Things worked out the way it worked out,” said McIntyre.</p></blockquote>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“It led to, instead of myself and Undertaker, Shawn Michaels and Undertaker, the retirement match,” he said. “Which was obviously a phenomenal match. I could not have delivered on that level at the time.”</p></blockquote>
