Legendary WWE Superstar Kane will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, this year. He appeared on WWE’s The Bump this week to get surprised by The Undertaker with the announcement. The Deadman was honored to give him the breaking news in a video chat session which primarily seemed unbelievable for Kane. But then WWE officially announced the induction.
Kane will be joining The Great Khali, Molly Holly, and Eric Bischoff as confirmed names for the 2021 WWE Hall of Fame Class. Rob Van Dam is also rumored for a spot for the prestigious ceremony but WWE is yet to confirm the same.
Kane, the latest induction into the WWE Hall of Fame, has been with WWE since 1995. In recent times, he has not wrestled for the company since a surprise appearance in the 2021 Royal Rumble Match this past January. Before this, he was involved in a WWE 24/7 Title change with current champion R-Truth at the September 16, 2019, RAW in Knoxville, the same county from which he announced his re-election campaign for Mayor post.
