WWE icon Kurt Angle has revealed he will have one last match on SmackDown Live this week versus a dream opponent.
Angle is in the midst of his farewell tour, with the 50-year-old set to retire in a contest against Baron Corbin at WrestleMania 35 next month.
There is talk this underwhelming encounter could even be shelved, such was the negative reaction to his last hurrah being against a midcard talent.
Yet while the prospect of the six-time world champion facing Corbin hasn't exactly set fans' pulses racing, a treat lies in store in the meantime.

A statement on WWE.com read: "Angle has long been a cornerstone of the SmackDown brand and will undoubtedly create one last classic moment against The Phenomenal One."
Fans have already been tweeting their excitement, with some even claiming that this should have been Angle's WrestleMania match instead of his advertised bout with Baron Corbin - a match many fans still think will be changed come April 7.
