Angle said that if WWE pays him $10 million then he will put his wrestling boots back and work another match.

He said that he'd like to face Vince McMahon's son Shane McMahon at WrestleMania under the right circumstances.

Talking to Sportskeeda wrestling's One on One show, Long said that WWE would rather bring in someone else to face Shane because of Kurt's 10 million dollar asking price.
