The veteran superstar has officially filed papers to run for mayor of Knox County, Tennessee.

Running under his birth name of Glenn Jacobs, he'll stand as a Republican in the part of the state he and his family have settled.

"This is a great place to work, live and raise a family. I want to do my part to make sure it remains a great place and that our future is as bright as ever," Jacobs told his first campaign rally.

Kane hasn't been seen in WWE for some time but a return at this year's Survivor Series had been rumoured to mark the 20th anniversary of his debut.

With his in-ring brother The Undertaker also seemingly taking time away, it appears it may be a while before we see 'The Brothers of Destruction" together again.
