Glenn Jacobs, aka Kane, has had multiple gimmicks and ring names in WWE. He first appeared as the evil dentist Isaac Yankem in a June 26, 1995 episode of Raw. He was shown as Jerry Lawler's private dentist and would go on to feud with WWE Hall of Famer, Bret Hart.

Jacobs also portrayed the fake Diesel in 1996, when Kevin Nash left for WCW. His best gimmick in WWE would debut at Badd Blood in 1997. He was revealed to be The Undertaker's half-brother, Kane, when he tombstoned the Deadman in a match against Shawn Michaels.

Kane became the most successful character and ring name for Jacobs with and without the mask. In late 2013, Kane evolved into a new version of himself as he was renamed Corporate Kane as he sided with The Authority. During this time he played a dual character of Corporate Kane and would also transform into the masked monster, Demon Kane.

Wyatt debuted in WWE as Husky Harris in 2010 on NXT. In his first gimmick, he was part of the faction Nexus before evolving into a more sinister character with a new ring name, Bray Wyatt. As the head of the Wyatt Family, he would eventually have Erik Rowan, the late Luke Harper and Braun Strowman complete the faction.

The Wyatt Family debuted on a July 8 episode of RAW in 2012 attacking Kane. They went on to become one of the biggest heel factions at the time, feuding with superstars like John Cena and Randy Orton.

Wyatt underwent another change in 2019, this time to a far more frightening character called The Fiend. Bray Wyatt sported a leaner look, wearing a demonic mask.

On the July 15 episode of RAW in 2019, The Fiend appeared in the ring for the first time attacking Finn Balor. The Fiend would beat Finn Balor at SummerSlam 2019 and also overcome John Cena at WrestleMania 36.

His rivalry with Randy Orton was the last the WWE Universe would see of the character, with his final appearance at WrestleMania 37. Bray Wyatt, the following night on RAW, appeared on The Firefly Fun House for the last time before being released by WWE.
