WWE Hall of Famer Kane is certainly one of the most respected and loved Superstars in the company. While he has been part of many iconic moments, he is now more focused on politics and has now addressed potentially running for Governor of Tennessee.

Kane has transitioned into politics, being elected as the Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, in 2018. Glenn Jacobs, the man behind the mask, won a second term as Mayor in 2022.

Jacobs’ future in politics is uncertain, as his last term as Mayor will end in 2026, coinciding with the end of Governor Bill Lee’s second term. In an interview with Jack Hunter of the Washington Examiner, Jacobs was asked about the possibility of running for governor. He stated that he is currently considering his options.

Yes. I have two more years in office and am term-limited, so I’m considering my options, including whether I’ll remain in politics.”

Jacobs potentially serving as a governor wouldn’t be unprecedented in the wrestling world. Jesse “The Body” Ventura notably served as the Governor of Minnesota. It remains to be seen what Jacobs will do in the end.
