2) Kane holds on to the WWE World Heavyweight title only for one night

Kane is known to be one of the most loyal employees in WWE. Kane has always been a company man, and during the Attitude Era, Vince chose Kane as his weapon of destruction during his feud with Austin. During the King of the Ring PPV in 1998, Austin faced Kane in the main event in a First Blood match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

The Undertaker interfered during the match, and decked Austin with a chair, bloodying the champion. This cost Austin the match and the title, and on the very next night, Austin invoked his rematch clause and faced Kane for the title. Austin successfully defeated Kane to win back the title for a second time in his career, while Kane’s only reign as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion came to a screeching halt!
