He last competed in the 2021 men's Royal Rumble match, which was won by Edge. The Big Red Machine took his rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame last year.

The Devil's Favorite Demon returned to WWE on RAW last week as the show was held in Knoxville, Tennessee. Although he never showed up to the ring, Kane was featured in some funny backstage segments.
