Cody Rhodes gets Kurt Angle at indie event on August 27

Cody Rhodes can chalk one off from his bucket list as his first opponent in his post-WWE career will be none other than former WWE and TNA champion Kurt Angle.

The two will be main eventing the Wrestling Under The Stars event promoted by Northeast Wrestling on Saturday, August 27 at the Dutchess Stadium in Wappingers Falls, New York. This will be an open-air event held inside a baseball park.

Yesterday in a post on his Facebook page, Kurt Angle said that he doesn’t believe that wrestling has an identity anymore. He said the sport needs something to ignite the fans again in addition to the current young array of talent. “It’s time to lead the charge. Stay tuned,” Angle wrote.
