Pittsburgh is the home city for WWE Hall of Famer and Olympic Gold Medalist, Kurt Angle. I would not be surprised at all if Angle plays some kind of role on the show, possibly as the guest host or a guest referee. The former WWE World Champion’s retirement match took place at WrestleMania 35, where he lost to Baron Corbin.
