The final component of that tag match at Crown Jewel, Kane is another Superstar who will most likely miss Royal Rumble.

The Big Red Machine, who goes by the name Glenn Jacobs, is now the mayor of Knox County in Tennessee. Kane last wrestled at Crown Jewel, and recently revealed why he did so, despite the backlash that WWE received following the death of Saudi Arabian journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

He revealed that the WWE promised to donate $100,000 to the Knoxville Public Safety Foundation for Kane's appearance at Crown Jewel, and the ceremony happened at a recent WWE live event when the WWE Superstars wrestled in Knoxville, where Mayor Jacobs made an appearance.

Despite this recent appearance, it is unlikely that Kane will be a part of Royal Rumble considering his duties as a mayor, as well as not having a storyline or feud coming into the PPV.
