Don't expect to see Kurt Angle return to the ring for John Cena's retirement tour.
2025 will be a bittersweet year for fans, as John Cena will embark on a year-long retirement tour in WWE. Cena is expected to be very active for the tour, previously saying that he will be doing about 36 dates for the company throughout the year.
If you were expecting Kurt Angle to come out of retirement for a match with Cena, it might be time to let go of that hope. While speaking to Zack Heydorn of The Takedown On SI for a new interview, Angle noted that a lot of people have asked him if he's going to wrestle Cena for his retirement tour before seemingly ruling out the idea, saying that he's in no condition to be getting in the ring.
“A lot of people ask me if I’m gonna wrestle Cena for his retirement tour [laughs]. No, no, listen, my body, I have knee replacements, I had five neck surgeries, I had my back surgery last year. I have to have shoulder replacements. I am in no condition to be getting in the ring and wrestling. Don’t get me wrong, I do some stuff. I don’t think I can get in the ring. I can probably get in the ring and wrestle, but I don’t want to take the chance of getting injured.”
In regards to doing "some stuff", Angle went on to note that he will be filming a CBS ad for the upcoming NFL game between the Ravens and the Steelers.
Angle last wrestled in 2019, facing Baron Corbin in a singles contest at WrestleMania 35.
Furthermore, Angle recently revealed that there will be two movies made about his life story. Fans can learn more information by clicking here.
