The Inquisitr previously reported that Angle would be out of action with a tumor in his neck. He dropped the TNA World Heavyweight championship to Ethan Carter III and was subsequently written off of television. It was said that he knew about the benign tumor in his neck for years, but it only recently began to bother him.
His first surgery reportedly went well, and Angle was expected to undergo a full recovery and return to in-ring competition. Angle posted an Instagram picture, indicating that he would begin rehab as soon as possible.
As his management mentioned in their tweets, the outlook remains positive, and Angle is expected to recover from his second surgery in two weeks. Currently, it is not clear if Angle will be able to wrestle at the next set of TNA Impact Wrestling television tapings. But Angle is known as a machine, so he will probably increase the intensity of his rehab. If Kurt Angle has anything to say about it, he will do everything in his power to return sooner than expected.
