WWE has announced today that former WWE Champion and current Mayor of Knox County Kane will make an appearance on Friday night's episode of SmackDown. The last time we saw the Big Red Machine, he was taken out by The Fiend...could history repeat itself now that Bray Wyatt is a member of the blue brand's roster?
Bear in mind that Kane's former tag team partner Daniel Bryan is currently feuding with Wyatt, so there's every chance that Kane could return to lend him a helping hand or offer some advice.
However, WWE's article mentions that Kane has competed in more Royal Rumble matches than any other Superstar and asks, "Could Kane be ready to make history once again?" An appearance in the match does seem likely based on that and while he is busy with his mayoral duties, he hasn't retired from in-ring competition.
With any luck, things should become clearer this Friday.
