The WWE finally revealed Kurt Angle’s big secret on Monday Night RAW earlier this week, as the Hall of Famer was reunited with his long-lost son, Jason Jordan.
The announcement had been building up for weeks, with many speculating that it would revolve around the on-screen return of Stephanie McMahon and Triple H.
RAW REVEAL
Instead, the company went with the decision to disband American Alpha; keeping Chad Gable on SmackDown LIVE and sending Jordan to the red brand as the newest member of the roster.

It’s been met with mainly negative responses so far, as it’s not exactly the most believable of storylines in a kayfabe world while others thought it would make more sense to have Gable revealed as his son.
Nevertheless, they’re moving ahead with the over the top story and you can be sure there will be plenty of twists and turns along the way which will either tell a wonderful story on-screen, or it will give fans more of a reason to criticise the WWE’s supposedly outdated creative team.
One former WWE star who isn’t afraid to speak his mind on the current product is Stone Cold Steve Austin, as he often takes to his podcast to give constructive criticism on the storylines currently unfolding and this week, the Jordan and Angle reveal is understandably under the microscope.
AUSTIN'S REACTION
Rather surprisingly, the Texas Rattlesnake is a big fan of the storyline and what it could have in store for fans down the line, claiming that he’s a big fan of Jordan along with the possibility of the Olympic gold medallist donning a singlet for another match.
Speaking on the Steve Austin Show Unleashed, he said: “I like the fact that they are shooting a hell of a big angle. They got a lot of negative responses but hey man, it was a big-time response seemingly from everybody.
“Big time angle, lot of rub for the kid. He’s a good looking guy, read about him when I was coming over here to talk to you on the podcast.
"Outstanding credentials as an amateur, could possibly have a bright future ahead of him and if it is done off the back of this angle, more power to the kid, good luck to him.
“Is this leading to a betrayal of Kurt’s trust or somebody trying to oust him from his position? And will it result in Kurt Angle returning to the ring to wrestle at a big-time pay-per-view?”
It’s an over the top storyline, but there’s no denying that it’s still a huge discussion point and in WWE’s case, any reaction to it is better than no reaction.
