Kane made a surprising return WWE Raw last night, helping Braun Strowman overcome Roman Reigns in the show's Steel Cage main event.

Reigns appeared to be on the verge of victory when Kane's music hit and 'The Big Red Machine' came up from under the ring, stalked the Shield member, then helped Braun beat him down. Strowman pinned Roman for the victory, and Kane has now been added to this Sunday's TLC pay-per-view main event, having made his first WWE appearance in 10 months.

This means that The Shield will face Strowman, Kane, Cesaro, Sheamus, and The Miz in a 3-on-5 Tables, Ladders & Chairs match, with Miz negotiating the additional teammate stipulation earlier in the night.
