Possible Reason for WWE Choosing Jordan for Angle’s Storyline

For those wondering, Jason Jordan was only told a few hours before Raw about his involvement in the Kurt Angle storyline.
The decision to pick Jordan as Kurt Angle’s illegitimate son is probably because Kurt Angle was known for dating African American women in his past. While Jordan is bigger than Gable physically, it is Gable who was known as the better wrestler and who has the stronger personality.
