Angle's last in-ring match came a year prior to that in a losing effort against Baron Corbin at WrestleMania 35.

He then began work behind the scenes as a producer and agent before his stint was ended last year when he was part of staff cuts.

Speaking with , the 52-year-old explained that he was then offered a deal to have a run in AEW after he retired from wrestling.

Angle admitted he was flattered by the attempt but he didn't consider it 'because he’s too beat up physically to compete at the level he once did.'

The Olympic gold medalist also stated that Impact Wrestling approached him about coming in for a 'one-shot deal.'

And while Angle revealed he still has a soft spot for the promotion having worked for them for so many years, he decided to turn it down.

SunSport revealed last year that the Warrior actor snubbed a new WWE contract from Triple H just four months after he was fired.

Angle claimed he was busy focusing on his nutrition business but he teased a potential return to the ring during a cryptic video online back in March.
