2017 WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle is off this weekend’s appearance with 5 Star Wrestling in Dundee, Scotland with the belief that he was pulled from the appearance by WWE, which will no doubt lead to some speculation that Angle could be a surprise entrant in the 2017 WWE Royal Rumble match on Sunday night in San Antonio, Texas.

The announcement from 5 Star Wrestling on their official Facebook page reads, “At 16:04 today, I received a call from Kurt Angle’s management team confirming the rumours that Kurt will not be commentating on the debut episode of Dominant Wrestling which airs live on Spike TV at 8pm this Saturday from the Dundee Ice Arena. It’s a shame, but we would like to congratulate Kurt on his Hall of Fame appointment. Losing a star as respected as Kurt is obviously a blow to us, but fortunately he was booked as a commentator rather than a wrestler so it’s not like this will make much of a difference to this historic event. Fans at the Dundee Ice Arena and indeed around the UK will still get to witness John Morrison issuing an open challenge for his 5 Star Championship and with megastars such as Rey Mysterio, Drew Galloway, Carlito, PJ Black, Nick Aldis and Moose on the show, anything can happen.”
