It's true that Kane isn't the kind of performer many would expect to pop up on 'Best Of 2015' lists very often. A lot of fans were upset that Glenn Jacobs was chosen to headline a WWE pay-per-view in 2015, even though his match against Seth Rollins at Hell In A Cell didn't prove to be too bad. Long before then, he produced a stirring effort against another ex-member of The Shield. On the May 14 episode of Smackdown, Kane faced Roman Reigns in the main event. The match was little more than a distraction-filled brawl, one full of all the shortcuts which pad out such affairs. Nonetheless, the use of weapons and brawling outside of the ring actually helped this bout, because - being honest - it was unlikely to be an excellent technical wrestling contest. The stipulation called for 'No Disqualification', something which only aided proceedings. A few people were likely surprised by how much Kane had to offer during the match, and the end result was the correct decision. Winning with a well-placed Spear through a prone table in the corner, Reigns achieved a popular victory.
