Kane is no longer just the Big Red Machine. The future WWE Hall of Famer has been tirelessly fulfilling his duties as the Mayor of Knox County. They may claim they are happy with being away from the ring, but we guess some superstars can never get over the itch to wrestle. Kane falls under that category as he has been confirmed to return to in-ring action later this month.

As per PWInsider, the WWE veteran has been advertised to take on Braun Strowman in Bossier City, Louisiana on August 23rd at a Raw house show. The Lafayette live event will also see AJ Styles defend the United States Championship against Ricochet in a Street Fight.

The card, as you may have imagined, is subject to change with SummerSlam and other WWE shows scheduled to take place before the live event.

This will be Kane's first match since he returned to team up with The Undertaker at Crown Jewel in November last year. The Brothers of Destruction lost to D-Generation X on that night.

While there is no confirmation of Kane possibly returning to TV for another short run, we can always count on WWE to boost its live event sales by adding the 52-year-old legend for more events in the future. He is expected to be a part of the next Saudi Arabia show on October 31st, 2019.
