BALTIMORE — Kurt Angle is heading back to battle — and this time, it’s under duress.

With the arena under heightened security, The Olympic Hero attempted to open Raw with a mea culpa to his roster following last week’s raid by the SmackDown crew, but Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon resurfaced for the first time on Raw since WrestleMania to take her General Manager to task for failing to circle the wagons properly.

Stephanie claimed Shane only brought SmackDown behind enemy lines to “pick on her” and save his reputation following his failure at WWE Hell in a Cell, and she made sure Angle would shoulder the responsibility of payback by naming him team captain for the Raw squad in the Men’s Survivor Series Match. Stephanie demanded nothing less than “total annihilation” from Angle and all but declared that The Olympic Hero’s job security hinged on the outcome of the contest.
