Details On How WWE Kept Kane’s Raw Return a Big Secret, Update on WWE TLC Main Event Plans

As seen on WWE Raw this past Monday night, Kane made a surprising return to the company, attacking Roman Reigns in the main event Steel Cage match.

Previous speculation was that Kane, real name Glenn Jacobs, would be kept off WWE TV while Jacobs runs for the Mayor’s seat in Knox County, Tennessee. However, The Big Red Machine ended up making his WWE return this week, and will compete in the main event of WWE TLC on Sunday night.

According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE went to great lengths to keep Kane’s return a secret, and even had him fly into a different airport than the one in Portland. Kane was then driven to Raw, and reportedly hid under the ring for the entire duration of the show until it was time for him to make his appearance in the main event.

As for the main event of WWE TLC this Sunday, which will feature The Shield vs The Miz, Sheamus, Cesaro, Braun Strowman and Kane, the bout is expected to be very long. The PPV so far only has 5 other matches booked, plus two Kickoff segments, so the main event is expected to carry the event. It’s also possible WWE might book Matt Hardy and Jason Jordan vs Gallows and Anderson, or do something with Elias on the show.

The Observer predicts the TLC main event to be a “wild” bout, considering the PPV feels like a “one match show” at this point.
