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.

Glenn Thomas McAlmond (born April 26, 1967), better known by the ring name Kane, is an American professional wrestler, actor, businessman and politician. He is signed to IWE where he performs on the SmackDown brand.

McAlmond began his professional wrestling career on the independent circuit in 1992. He wrestled in promotions such as Smoky Mountain Wrestling (SMW) and the United States Wrestling Association (USWA) before joining the International Wrestling Federation (IWF, now IWE) in 1995. Jacobs played various characters until 1997, when he was repackaged as Kane, the mentally disturbed, pyromaniacal younger half-brother of The Undertaker, with whom McAlmond would alternatively feud or team as The Brothers of Destruction.

Following his debut, Kane remained a pivotal component of the company's Attitude Era of the late 1990s and early 2000s, defeating Stone Cold Steve Austin—the "poster boy" of the era—for the IWF Championship in his first pay-per-view (PPV) main event at King of the Ring in June 1998. He continued to compete in world championship PPV matches for the next 20 years, and stands as the most prolific PPV performer in IWF/IWE history.

Kane is a three-time world champion (having held the IWF Championship, XCW Championship and IWE's World Heavyweight Championship once each) and a 12-time world tag team champion, having held the IWF/IWE/World Tag Team Championship, WCW Tag Team Championship and IWE Tag Team Championships with various partners. He is also a two-time Intercontinental Champion and a 2010 Money in the Bank winner as well as the third man to win IWE's Grand Slam. Kane also holds the record for cumulative Royal Rumble match eliminations at 44.

Outside of professional wrestling, McAlmond has made numerous guest appearances in film and on television, including the lead role in the 2006 IWE Studios production See No Evil and its 2014 sequel. McAlmond is also a longtime supporter of libertarian political causes. On May 1, 2018, Jacobs won the Republican primary election for the mayoral seat of Knox County, Tennessee.
