The Big Red Machine is heading back to the ringat least for one night.
Glenn Kane Jacobs is officially set to appear at Northeast Wrestlings Wrestling Under the Stars event on Saturday, July 19, 2025. The show will take place at Eastwood Field in Niles, Ohio and includes a stacked lineup of big names from across the wrestling world. The official announcement came via Northeast Wrestlings Twitter account:
This marks a rare appearance for Kane, who has mostly stayed away from pro wrestling since becoming Mayor of Knox County in 2018. His last WWE appearance was a brief cameo at SummerSlam 2022, where he announced the attendance and hit his classic pyro.
Also announced for the July event are Matt Riddle, MVP, Shelton Benjamin, Maria Kanellis, Isla Dawn, and NEWs own tag team champs, Swipe RightWWE IDs Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes, who are set to defend their titles.
Kanes appearance is one of the biggest indie bookings of the summer and gives fans a chance to see a WWE legend outside the usual spotlight.
