Angle was released by WWE last month due to business cuts from the coranavirus pandemic. No word on if this is a one-off appearance.
"I'm coming to WWE NXT next week. #ItsTrue," Angle wrote on Twitter.
Also next week, NXT General Manager William Regal announced Io Shirai and Rhea Ripley will team up against NXT Women's Champion Charlotte Flair and a partner of her choosing. Charlotte is set to defend her title against Ripley and Shirai at NXT TakeOver: In Your House on June 7.
Below is the updated NXT lineup:
* NXT Champion Adam Cole and William Regal to have negotiating session
* Matt Riddle vs. Timothy Thatcher with Kurt Angle as special guest referee (Cage Fight)
* Drake Maverick vs. Kushida vs. Jake Atlas in a Triple Threat to determine the Group A winner of the tournament to crown the Interim NXT Cruiserweight Champion. The winner will go on to face El Hijo del Fantasma for the interim title
* Io Shirai and Rhea Ripley vs. NXT Women's Champion Charlotte and a partner of her choosing
