Kurt Angle will make his long-awaited return to a WWE ring Sunday.

WWE announced Friday that Angle has been tapped to replace Roman Reigns at "TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs." Angle's last WWE match was against Sabu at an ECW taping in 2006.

Angle, a WWE Hall of Famer and two-time Olympic gold medalist, will team up with Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose in a 5-on-3 handicap match against Braun Strowman, The Miz, Cesaro, Sheamus, and Kane.

Former WWE champion AJ Styles will also replace Bray Wyatt in a match against Finn Balor.
