Despite years with a firm control of his company, it appears Vince McMahon is yielding some of the work to his son-in-law, Triple H. The former WWE superstar is reportedly in control of talent development, so says former WWE superstar and Olympic gold-medalist Kurt Angle. Angle said that he recently spoke to Vince McMahon about a return and learned that Triple H is running things in the WWE now.
Angle said, he wanted to talk to Vince McMahon and speak his peace and clear up any issues that he had in the past. He said that, as long as he and McMahon have no issues with each other, that is all that matters to him. However, he said that while talking to McMahon, he learned that Triple H is running the talent development part of the show now, which surprised him because he thought McMahon would run it until he died.
It was reported that Angle ended up going around Triple H and talking to McMahon, which angered Triple H. This might be the case, as Angle said that he wanted to clear the air between him and McMahon. However, McMahon allegedly told Angle that Triple H is in charge of talent signings now.

So, it appears that Kurt Angle won’t be making his return to the WWE. Angle did state that he has an agreement with a wrestling company to sign for his final run. He said the deal is for about 40 dates a year and the money is satisfactory, but he refuses to divulge which company it is until all the details are worked out and it is signed.
I would love to see @RealKurtAngle v @WWEDanielBryan one day. Could be rewarding. @StephMcMahon @TripleH

Angle also shared his thoughts on some topics.
On when he will retire:
“I can’t really say who I’m going with yet or what company I’m going to sign with. I am going to sign, but I’m going to just sign for 1 year, and that’s that. I think I’m pretty much done, I’m just going to have the best year I can have. Hopefully it’ll be my best year, then I’m going to retire.”
On TNA’s TV future:
“Well at the TV’s we just did, Dixie Carter and ‘Big’ John Gaburick sat the talent down and eased their minds a little bit, because I think a lot of the talent were a little bit confused and nervous regarding what was going on. I had a private sit down with Dixie, she reassured me of what was going on, and what her plans were. It was a good meeting, it was a very positive meeting. She just knows that the next deal that they sign really has to help benefit TNA, in every regard.”
On his recent talks with Vince McMahon:
“The only person that I really spoke my piece with, that I had a lot to do with in the past, and the problems I had and the way I left the company, I was able to speak my piece with Vince, and I’m happy with that. As long as Vince and I don’t have any issues, I’m okay with that. What I found out is that Triple H is pretty much running the show now. I didn’t know that, I really believed that Vince would always run the show until the day he died, but now they’re in a position as a publicly traded company where you’re not only answering to Vince and Triple H, you’re also answering to the shareholders.”
On the WWE Hall of Fame:
“Yeah, like I said, I’m not going to say where I’m heading next, but the Hall of Fame would definitely be an option; I’m not going to count that out. It’s a big honor, it would be important to me. Is it the most important thing? No. Obviously being inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame and International Wrestling Hall of Fame for Olympic style wrestling is the most important thing to me. But it is still important to me, because I’ve definitely made a legacy for myself in pro wrestling, and I take a lot of pride in it, I love the business. The Hall of Fame would be nice. Would it be the end of the world if I wasn’t inducted? No, but it would be an honor.”
