Many fans have wondered about how Kurt Angle was inserted into the main event of Sunday's TLC pay-per-view so quickly. It was Angle's first time in a WWE ring in 11 years, as he teamed with Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose to defeat the team of The Miz, Braun Strowman, Kane, Sheamus and Cesaro.
According to PWInsider, it was Vince McMahon's idea to add Angle to the match once WWE officials realized Roman Reigns wouldn't be able to compete due to having the mumps. The idea was proposed internally on Thursday and Angle, who has a well-documented history of neck injuries, was given a physical on Friday in his hometown of Pittsburgh to ensure that he was medically cleared for an in-ring return.
