The Reason Kane Has Been Off WWE TV

News
Mar 13, 2017

Kane has been off of WWE TV since November because he requested time off, according to Sportskeeda.

It was previously reported that Kane has been out with a variety of nagging injuries.

Kane has also requested time off to focus on potentially running for mayor in Knox County, Tennessee, as well as to work on his insurance agency business, The Jacobs Agency. The mayoral election would be in November, but no word on if Kane will be out for that long.

Kane’s current contract is reportedly $905,000 per year and is set to expire some time in 2018. Having been with WWE since 1995 and in the twilight of his career, that will probably be the end of his run.
