Kane is the current Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee and will appear in a special role on Friday night.

‘The Big Red Machine has competed in more Royal Rumble matches and has more eliminations than any Superstar in WWE history, and with the match on the horizon, could Kane be ready to make history once again?’ WWE said in a statement.

Kane last appeared in the WWE on September 16. Monday Night Raw was taking place in Tennessee and Kane tried to rescue Seth Rollins from an attack from The OC and Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler. But at the end of the show, Kane was himself taken out by ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt. Or is he coming to challenge the new fear of WWE?
