As noted, WWE Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon ordered Kurt Angle to take a mandatory vacation from Raw, and in Angle’s place, Baron Corbin is the new acting General Manager of Raw.
Angle posted the following on Instagram reacting to the news, noting he does not know if the vacation is permanent or not:
I’m really sorry that I won’t be on Monday Night Raw for a little while. I enjoyed every minute of it with the WWEUniverse. I was told by @stephaniemcmahon that I need a vacation. I don’t know if it’s temporary or permanent. I Hope I will be back sooner than later. Thank you WWEUniverse. Much Love. #itstrue
