Kurt Angle’s Wrestlemania 35 match with Baron Corbin has not gone down well with fans.
The news has been met with an overwhelmingly negative reaction from the WWE Universe – and influential figures are reportedly trying to get the match changed.
According to Rajah.com there are plenty of people pitching for a match against John Cena to replace the current Corbin event which is still planned.
However, a switch appears highly unlikely with WWE reportedly favouring the publicity received – albeit negative – by the reaction to the Corbin announcement.
Angle himself is even understood to have asked to face the legendary John Cena – who made his WWE debut against Angle – instead of proceeding with his planned match.

A source told Rajah : “As of this weekend, Angle vs. Corbin was still the planned match.
“Kurt and others backstage lobbied for Cena and this is just what I am perceiving, but seems WWE thinks the negative response is great for Corbin.
“Still, 2 weeks left for minds to change.”

It also appears Angle vs Corbin could still be the subject of a late switch.
Some rumours have suggested the fight is simply a placeholder, and there may be a change of opponent on the day as part of a dramatic Wrestlemania twist.
Whoever he faces, Angle’s departure is set to be an emotional moment as he calls time on his glittering wrestling career.
