As we reported earlier in the week, it appears as if negotiations between WWE and Kurt Angle have ceased as WWE was only interested in Angle returning to the company full-time, an offer which Angle reportedly turned down.

According to the most recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, backstage word in TNA is that Angle will be remaining with the company. TNA officials want people to believe, however, that Angle is leaving the company so it’s a big surprise when he returns.
