Kurt Angle Feels Survivor Series 2017 Ending Made Braun Strowman Look Like An “Idiot”

At WWE Survivor Series 2017, Braun Strowman was featured in a traditional 5-on-5 traditional elimination match with Triple H and Kurt Angle. The stipulation was that if Angle’s team would’ve lost, he would be removed as RAW’s General Manager.

Although Angle’s team won the match, Triple H decided to turn on the Hall of Famer anyway. This prompted Strowman to lay out the Game after the match. The whole angle ultimately led to Angle and Ronda Rousey vs. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon at the following year’s WrestleMania.

On the latest episode of The Kurt Angle show, the Hall of Famer spoke about the ending of Survivor Series 2017 and why he believes it made Strowman look like an “idiot.”

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On Strowman’s involvement in the Survivor Series 2017 finish: “It was used to help build the match between Ronda, myself, and Triple H, and Stephanie. So I understand why they planted the seed, I just don’t agree with what they did with Braun there. I understand [Triple H] giving me the Pedigree, screw me over… that made sense. But the thing with Braun Strowman of him hanging there high and dry made him look like an idiot.”

On his experiences with Strowman: “Braun’s a very valuable asset. He should’ve never left WWE. Should’ve never happened. The guy knows how to wrestle, he knows how to talk, he looks great, he’s a 350 pound monster. You don’t let a guy like that go. I don’t know how or why that happened. Maybe it was for money reasons, I don’t know. But Braun Strowman’s back in the right place. He needs to be in WWE. That’s where he deserves to be.”
