WWE Rumors: What Is Kurt Angle’s ‘Secret’, And Could It Lead To ‘SummerSlam’ Match?


Last night’s episode of Monday Night RAW left fans with a lot to look forward to in the coming week’s episode – the possibility of The Hardy Boyz becoming full-on “broken,” Roman Reigns vs. Samoa Joe in a number one contender match for the Universal Championship, and the revelation of Kurt Angle’s “secret.” What is this explosive piece of information the RAW General Manager is hiding, and how could this tie in with previous WWE rumors suggesting a match at SummerSlam for the 2017 WWE Hall of Fame inductee?

As recapped by Heavy, Monday Night RAW came to a close this week with a cliffhanger featuring Kurt Angle talking about his “secret” with announcer Corey Graves. After Angle and Graves had finished discussing a text message they had both received, the 48-year-old former Olympic gold medalist and WWE Champion was shown speaking to someone over the phone, inviting the person to join him on next week’s RAW to reveal the secret. Angle then ended the conversation with the words “I love you.”

There have been many theories among members of the WWE Universe in the weeks that Angle’s ongoing storyline has been playing out on Monday Night RAW. But Heavy noted that many fans believe that Kurt Angle’s secret pertains to a storyline affair with RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon. In real life, McMahon is married to fellow WWE executive Paul “Triple H” Levesque, and the WWE rumor mill has strongly been suggesting a Kurt Angle vs. Triple H match at SummerSlam next month.

According to Heavy, the above theory makes a lot of sense in terms of the ongoing storylines on Monday Night RAW. Stephanie McMahon, after all, was written off television due to injuries she supposedly suffered at WrestleMania 33, while Triple H has also been absent since his WrestleMania loss to Seth Rollins. If the speculation turns out to be accurate, Kurt and Stephanie revealing their “secret” affair could infuriate Triple H in the storyline to the point that he’d want a match against the RAW GM.

Heavy also noted another similar, yet admittedly “wild” theory about Kurt Angle’s secret — he’d announce he has been having an affair with former TNA President and Chairwoman Dixie Carter, who is married in real life to a man named Serg Salinas. As Pro Wrestling Sheet wrote last week, Carter is scheduled to appear on Angle’s upcoming WWE Network special, and while she likely won’t be identified as a former TNA/Impact Wrestling executive, she is listed as someone who “worked with the Olympic Gold Medalist from 2006 to 2016.”

For those who are wondering, Angle is also married, having tied the knot with Giovanna Yannotti in 2012.

At the moment, however, the prevailing theory on Kurt Angle’s bombshell secret remains a possible affair with Stephanie McMahon, which may include references to their previous on-air “love triangle” with Triple H back in 2000. At that time, Stephanie and HHH were only married in storyline and were still three years away from getting married for real.

As for the possibility of the big revelation resulting in a Kurt Angle vs. Triple H match at SummerSlam, IWNerd cited previous comments from Pro Wrestling Sheet’s James McKenna, who believes that the storyline’s payoff will not include a match between both WWE legends, who are both in their late 40s and well-removed from their peak years as active wrestlers. As seen in the above tweet, McKenna dropped the word “illegitimate,” which could point to Angle announcing that he and his kayfabe mistress may have had a child at some point in the past, something that could also “ruin his family,” as he said in last night’s segment with Corey Graves.

Would you like to see Angle vs. HHH at SummerSlam 2017, just as WWE’s rumor mill has been speculating? Do you have any other ideas or theories regarding Kurt Angle’s secret, aside from the potential revelation of a fictional affair with Stephanie McMahon or Dixie Carter?
