The boy band singer put on his tights and wrestling match for a bout with the former WWE star.
One Direction star Liam Payne got the chance of a lifetime when he wrestled TNA star Kurt Angle as part of the band's album launch celebrations over the weekend.
The 'Best Song Ever' star got into characters as 'The Payne Train' for the 1D Day event on Saturday (23rd November), and dressed up as a lucha libre wrestler for the tongue-in-cheek celebrations.
