He wrestled in Smoky Mountain Wrestling as Unabomb where he won the SMW Tag Team Championship as a member of The Dynamic Duo, and in the United States Wrestling Association where he won the USWA Heavyweight Championship as Doomsday.

LeGreca is the third Grand Slam Champion in IWE history. In addition to championships, he is a one-time Money in the Bank winner, also he has become the quickest man to cash in the briefcase. LeGreca currently holds several records in the Royal Rumble match.

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 Attitude Era, as opposed to the finger gloves worn in recent years — and dropping the matchstick onto one of his old mask (the one that didn't cover his mouth), 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.
