As one of the longest-tenured employees at WWE, Kane has been an influential figure in WWE. Even though the superstar is currently serving as a mayor in Tennessee, he has made special appearances and given fans some feel-good moments.

Kane made his NXT debut in a dark match against Cody Rhodes in July 2012 and defeated him by pinfall.

What many may not know is that Kane teamed up with Daniel Bryan to defend their WWE Tag Team Championships against Johnny Curtis and Michael McGillicutty in a televised match. The match was taped in October 2012.
