As you're no doubt well aware, Kane is better known these days as Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs and while he's busy looking after his constituents, we learned on Monday night's episode of RAW that Kane will be in The Undertaker's corner at Super Show-Down in Australia. Well, to justify that WWE return, the company is planning to donate $100,000 to the Knoxville Public Safety Foundation.
"We’re happy to support this charity of behalf of Mayor Jacobs," WWE CEO Vince McMahon said in a press release that was sent out to members of the local media in Knox County yesterday afternoon. "Much like his unparalleled contributions to advancing the WWE brand during his stellar career of more than 20 years, Mayor Jacobs has begun work to improve Knox County."
Kane has opted to donate this money rather than being paid to appear at the PPV and what's really interesting is that this gives us an idea of how much he's paid by the company these days as a part-timer. Regardless, it's said that he will be making a "series of appearances for WWE this fall" but the only confirmed date as of right now is Super Show-Down in Australia so stay tuned for details.
"I’m extremely proud that my career with WWE will have a positive impact on the community through my role as Knox County Mayor," Jacobs said in the same press release.
