Kurt Angle Says The WWE Had Main Event Plans For Jason Jordan
Jason Jordan looked to be on track for big things. Despite a storyline that confused fans, the WWE had plans for Jason Jordan alongside Kurt Angle.
It’s now been over 3 years since he last wrestled, and while there’s a chance at an in ring return, it’s hard to say if that will happen. Angle spoke about Jordan on The Kurt Angle Show and revealed more about how the WWE planned on making Jordan a main eventer before the injury happened.
“I was excited because I wanted to pair up with Jason and Chad when they were tag team partners. I wanted to wrestle and I wanted to be the world champion and have them be the tag team champions just like Team Angle. I thought it made a lot of sense and they decided that I was going to have an illegitimate son and they weren’t sure who it was going to be. They decided to pick Jason over Chad, I’m not sure why, it might have been a politically correct move.”
“I was happy, I was excited about it because Jason was improving. He was on his way to main event status until he hurt his neck, that’s when the program ended. I was stuck high and dry without a partner for the next WrestleMania [35] because that’s who I was going to wrestle was Jason.”
Jordan was scheduled to face Angle at WrestleMania 35, and the match eventually went to Baron Corbin. Though Jordan is still working with the WWE, who knows where he would be now if he had remained healthy for the duration of the storyline.
