As the Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, WWE Hall of Famer Kane only makes sporadic appearances for the company nowadays. Obviously, coordinating his attendance can be a challenge with his day-to-day duties. However, with Raw taking place at the Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville tonight, which is less than 5 miles away, Fightful Select has reported that he will be at the show. And as of this weekend, he was scheduled to appear in front of the camera as part of a segment between Kevin Owens and Ezekiel.
Fightful learned that as of this afternoon, there was a plan for Kane to appear in some capacity on WWE Raw. The early pitch we’d heard was for him to be involved in a segment with Ezekiel and Kevin Owens that was figured into the script this weekend.
Fightful SelectKane hasn’t officially retired from the ring, although his last full-time run concluded in the much-ridiculed match at Cowen Jewel, which saw him team with The Undertaker against Shawn Michaels and Triple H in 2018. Since then, his only in-ring performance was as a surprise entrant in the 2021 Royal Rumble match, although he briefly won and then lost the 24/7 Championship to R-Truth in what can only be described as typical WWE comedy.
