Kurt Angle will be undergoing neck surgery next week to remove a tumor which is benign.

The former TNA champion will be out for around a month as he recovers but vows to come back better than ever before. Angle knew about the tumor for quite a while but it’s been bothering him lately which is why he’s undergoing surgery now.

Earlier this week Angle thanked his fans in a post on Facebook for their support and comments which kept his spirits high. Angle will miss the next set of Impact tapings which will be held later this month.
