WWE also confirmed the news on twitter after they released a promo video stating the same. In a recent interview with ESPN, Kurt Angle said he was shocked about the news and that he's glad his hard work finally paid off.

"I was shocked. I've been out of WWE for a long time and out of touch with them, so I didn't really expect this. It's a huge honour. This is the only Hall of Fame that I'm not in and probably [the one] I want to be in the most. This is the one that means the most for me. I had a lot of fun entertaining the fans for seven years with WWE, and I'm glad that my hard work paid off," ESPN quoted Kurt Angle as saying.
