Kurt Angle: WWE and UFC Crossover Couldn’t Happen Before
Recalling his time on WWE’s roster as an active competitor during UFC’s height of popularity, Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle mentioned a time when crossover between both companies were not possible during his guest appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience.
I know that Dana [Dana White] and Vince [Vince McMahon], their contracts have specifically, ‘You can’t go to WWE.’ If you’re WWE, ‘You can’t go to UFC.’ They were going against each other when they shouldn’t be. WWE should be worried about AEW, not UFC. Before the merger, I don’t know what’s going on now. In their contracts, it was ‘you can’t crossover to UFC, UFC can’t crossover to WWE.
