On the November 21 edition of Raw, IWE hyped the return of Kane by showing a vignette with Kane lighting a match, punching through glass — wearing the studded leather glove worn during the company's [[The Attitude Era|Attitude Era]], as opposed to the finger gloves worn in recent years — and dropping the matchstick onto a newer mask (Half-mask style of his 2002-2003 mask, but the design of his 1997-2002 mask), which then caught fire. Another promo was aired on the November 28 edition of Raw, which ended with the title "Kane Resurrected". On the December 5 edition of Raw, a third vignette aired, Kane was seen looking into the mirror again, seen by a flashback of several superstars on fire like The Rock, Garrett. Justin Eldridge and Dustin Simpson, then Kane is seen putting the mask on his face, and seeing him wear it briefly, then soon after the mask was seen to be set on fire again.
