“I gained a lot of weight during this pandemic. I got up to 260, and I got my butt down to 210 pounds, so I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in even before the Olympics as far as looks, not on a conditioning level or a strength level.

“Being out of wrestling the past few years, especially during the pandemic, I had a lot of physical problems. I had many problems from not doing anything, not working out as much as I did, sitting all the time, nothing to do, and being stuck at home.

“I started to have a lot of back pain and knee pain, and it got to the point where I was like, I probably won’t wrestle again.”

Angle has been a former Raw General Manager, and it will be interesting to see in what role he returns to the show.
