As reported earlier, Kane was back in action on March 2nd in-house show that took place in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
It was a huge match against Braun Strowman that entertained the crowd. In the end, the behemoth name from the current WWE Raw roster picked up the win with his pendant move, running powerslam.
Just one night later, Kane was back in another live event to feature in the main event of the show. It was earlier reported that Brock Lesnar would compete in a Universal Championship match in the windy city. It was not scheduled at the usual venue, the All-State Arena in Rosemont.
Rather, the United Center in Chicago, Illinois hosted the show that witnessed the fans leaving the show in utter bitterness.
The main event of the night featured Brock Lesnar competing against Kane for the Universal title match. It marked the first appearance for the beast incarnate following the Royal Rumble PPV. There was some fan backlashed already after his ‘no-showing’ on last week’s episode of WWE Raw from Anaheim, California.
This match made it even widely open as it lasted for only 30 seconds.

It started with Brock Lesnar taking Kane to the Suplex City for a couple of time right after the bell rang. Kane sat up in his iconic pose indicating he has left a lot in his tank. While going for a chokeslam, the champion countered it and took him on his shoulder.
A massive F-5 was executed for the pinfall win, just like that.

The Chicago crowd is PISSED at the short match.

It was just the second event hosted in this downtown Chicago venue. The first one was the Summerslam PPV event in 1994.
Hence, the fans expected to get their money back with the appearance of the beast incarnate.
However, Brock Lesnar showed no extra effort to pin Kane that made the fans outrageous.
Just after the event, all the fans who attended the arena, live in-person declared their frustration with this booking reserved by the WWE.
Apparently, Lesnar’s working dates might be over which is why the company can’t force him to work a rigorous schedule, right now. Meanwhile, some of the fan reactions are given below:
Brock Lesnar beat Kane in less than a minute. ??♂️. Get it together @WWE You’re in Chicago and at the @UnitedCenter for the 1st time since 94’. Bet you @WWERomanReigns wins at the end. ?. #WWEChicago #predictable ?
