Now if we look at it logically (which considering it's TNA is probably not the best idea I admit), Angle's reaction is the biggest clue. How could you. Not "it's you" which it would have been for a debuting star ie Batista or the like. So we know it's a known member of the tna roster unlike gallows was. We can also eliminate most of the newer and less known guys based on his tone as his question was delivered. It was spoken as if the other guy was an equal. Using those factors, there are three types of guys who it could be.
1) One of Angle's allies. His last tag partner was AJ. He's teamed with Sting, And I think Joe at one point. Other than that, not many top level stars have allied with angle. Out of this group, AJ makes the most sense except the fact he's not the best heel as not only is he limited on the stick but also gets almost nostalgia like pops from the tna loyalists
2)One of the people fighting A8. The line sounds like a classic heel turn line. Eric Young maybe? Sting? Hogan? Nick Hogan? (joking, but just barely)
3)A Major (TNA) Star. By this I mean someone not involved in the A8 angle or main event scene at the moment. Someone who is a major name, a face at the moment (again the reaction), and someone who isn't currently doing anything for the most part... The one name that stuck in my head outside of AJ, Eric, Bully, Hogan, etc is RVD. He just dropped the belt that he was far to good to hold, lost it relatively cleaning, has nothing on the horizon, and with the makeup of the group fits in really well. He's a big enough name that his involvement would garner that type of response from Angle and one of the few big names they have on their roster not currently doing anything.
My list of suspects in order of who I think it most likely is:
1) RVD: Again, nothing more than a hunch but I can't think of an argument against it.
2) AJ: Motorcycle, Angle's tag partner not long ago, big enough name, the attitude change, etc.
3) Joe: This doesn't make sense to me, but I digress. Joe doesn't look like a biker, doesn't play well with others, not really a group guy to me. I could see TNA going this direction just to give him something to do.
4) Jeff Jarrett: Has had problems with Angle in the past, him sabotaging TNA after founding it could result in a "how could you". TNA has been bound and determined to use him in a main role, been off tv a while, Just seems like something they would do.
5) Eric Young: Guy randomly comes back before a big ppv tag match, hand picked by the team leader, returns without the comedy angle, has no drawing power so it makes perfect sense from a TNA standpoint to make him a focal point of the storyline.
