Kane On Why He Doesn’t Want To Get Back In The Ring

Aug 14, 2022

For years Kane was one of the most prominently featured characters on WWE programming, but it’s rare for fans to see the Big Red Machine on WWE TV. Kane did recently make an appearance at the SummerSlam premium live event in Nashville when he announced the attendance for the event. However, he recently explained on The Right View with Lara Trump why fans shouldn’t expect to see him get in the ring again anytime soon.

“Yeah, I actually don’t do that much anymore. I don’t want to get into a wrestling ring and actually get knocked down because I don’t know if I could get back up at this point. But yes, I still do things occasionally. For instance, WWE recently had SummerSlam, which is WWE’s second biggest event of the year at Nashville at Nissan Stadium, where the Titans play, and I announced the attendance for the evening. It’s awesome for me to just go out and still be a part of it.

I mean, it’s one of the greatest shows on the planet, and that’s an experience that is unlike any other when you get out there in front of thousands of people and are just able to do something like that. I think people here think it’s really cool, actually. Because I have folks come up to me and say, ‘Hey, I saw you doing this,’ or ‘I saw you doing that,’ or, ‘I saw you on this WWE special.’ So it really is I mean, it’s rewarding for me.

Kane last stepped into a WWE ring when he competed in the 2021 men’s Royal Rumble match, and he was officially inducted into the Hall of Fame a few months later. Currently he’s focused on his career as Mayor of Knox County.
