Legendary Kane is the next in line to be celebrated by the WWE for his contributions to the company, over the years. Earlier this year, WWE has already thrown 20th-anniversary celebrations to the likes of Randy Orton, John Cena, and Rey Mysterio to achieve some big numbers in their merchandise selling section.
Now, the WWE Universe may get ready to walk through hell, fire, and brimstone as the company has announced the 25th-anniversary celebration for WWE Hall of Famer Kane. This month marks the quarter-century since his debut on WWE programming as he appeared for the first time during 1997 In Your House: Bad Blood event, during the inaugural Hell in a Cell match.

Kane had an illustrious career in WWE for over two decades
In his first appearance, the Devil’s Favorite Demon cost his brother The Undertaker, the first Hell in a Cell match against Shawn Michaels. Moving on, the superstar billed from the hell had feuds with stars such as ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin, and Triple H. Less than a year into his run, he ended up winning the WWF Title (admittedly for one day) but later on in his career, he had longer reigns as ECW and World Heavyweight Champion.
In the 2001 Royal Rumble match, Kane set a record with eleven eliminations, a record that lasted until 2014 when Roman Reigns broke the streak with thirteen eliminations. Down the road, Brock Lesnar also matched the score in 2020. The Big Red Monster also holds the record of making the most number of appearances in Rumble matches.
