One of the strangest WWE storylines in recent memory came when it was revealed that former
SmackDown Tag Team Champion Jason Jordan was actually Kurt Angle's "son." As time passed, it was clear that Jordan was taking advantage of the fact his father was the
RAW General Manager, but the entire thing ended up being scrapped.
That was a result of Jordan suffering a serious neck injury which has kept him on the shelf for the past couple of years and potentially brought his in-ring career to an end. So, what exactly was the plan?
"They had plans for me to wrestle Jason, but that would’ve been a one off," Angle reveals. "I don’t think I would’ve been wrestling constantly just because of that. I just think the WWE wanted to protect me, and I completely get it and I don’t blame them for it. I am just happy I came back and was able to retire where I started, that’s all I wanted to do."
"What I believe is that Jason was probably going to continue on being my son, he was going to start being a pain in the ass to me, I probably would’ve hired him on as my assistant GM, he would’ve started making decisions for me and it would’ve caused a lot of animosity and then him and I would’ve wrestled at WrestleMania instead of Baron Corbin. Obviously they picked Baron. No matter what you think about him, he’s a great in ring worker, his promo skills have gotten a lot better, he’s a big kid great athlete and what I believe, he replaced Jason."
It definitely would have been fun to see things play out between Angle and Jordan, but it simply wasn't meant to be. Recently, it's been revealed that Jordan has been working in WWE as a backstage producer, and Corbin getting the opportunity to retire the Olympic Gold Medallist is definitely something that's benefited his career.
