John Cena to induct Kurt Angle into the WWE Hall of Fame
We now know who will be inducting Kurt Angle into the WWE Hall of Fame.
WWE announced on Thursday afternoon that John Cena would be doing the honors. Cena debuted in WWE against Angle by answering an open challenge on SmackDown in June 2002, where Cena was portrayed as putting up a good fight before losing to Angle.
After it was announced that he would be headlining the 2017 Hall of Fame class, Angle spoke to Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso and called it a “no-brainer” for Steve Austin to induct him.
Angle later appeared on Live Audio Wrestling with John Pollock, where he said the decision wasn’t up to him but believed WWE would listen to his input. He mentioned Austin, The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, and Cena as potential choices.
The Hall of Fame ceremony will take place on March 31st at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida over WrestleMania weekend.
