WWE Royal Rumble 2011 Roster: Where Are They Now?

1. Kane

Then: Kane was fresh off another feud with his kayfabe sibling 'Taker by the time the 2011 Rumble came along. WWE booked him as #40, but he only worked around 90 seconds before being eliminated by Rey Mysterio.

He'd kick around for a while before going back under the mask later that year.

Now: The mask is still on, but rarely. These days, Kane is more likely to shake hands as Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee than he is to chokeslam some poor sap out of his boots in the Rumble. It doesn't even seem likely that the 'Big Red Machine' will work a surprise entrant spot in the 2021 match.

Fans might've seen the last of him in-ring.
