3. Kane - Eliminated By Braun Strowman
Glen Jacobs has been in the WWE for over twenty years with just over eighteen of those portraying the character of Kane. He's had a great run and is an incredibly talented performer but when he ended up in a top program for the WWE title last year, the matches just didn't deliver. Kane has been gradually phased out of regular in ring competition and as he approaches 50 years old, he's not in the shape he was even 3-4 years ago. He was a nice surprise entrant in the Rumble last night but he was clearly there for some nostalgia and eventually would be eliminated by Braun Strowman. Last night's performance seems like the Kane character will now be saved for the odd cameo or match instead of being featured in regular programs and given Jacobs age, it's probably for the best because over exposure and week to week in ring competition would kill his gimmick at this stage of his career.
