Former WWE champion may be preparing for surprise return at Royal Rumble

What better stage for his return?

Kurt Angle has been announced as a headliner for this year's WWE Hall of Fame, but has played all his cards close to his chest on a possible return to the ring.

All the stars may be lining up for a surprise return at Sunday's Royal Rumble after Angle was reportedly pulled from a previously committed to indie event, coincidentally slated for the same night.

Angle has talked previously about his one final match , and what better stage to set that up on than the Royal Rumble?

The show kicks off at 5 p.m. ET on the WWE Network, with the main card likely to start around 7 p.m.
