Angle and Baron Corbin have been at odds dating back to when Corbin was moved over to the red-brand by way of the Superstar Shake-Up. Corbin once replaced Angle as the General Manager of RAW and the two have had a number of matches against each other over the past year. Angle stated that he wants to end his career on a high note and nothing would make him happier than to defeat Baron Corbin.
Kurt Angle is on a retirement tour as he has been having singles matches on RAW every week. Last week Angle defeated Apollo Crews and tonight Angle defeated Chad Gable. Following his match, Baron Corbin confronted the WWE Hall Of Famer and let him know that his career will not have a fairytale ending.
