On his future, Kane said, “We will see me in WWE for the next several years and then it’s just what opportunities arise both in WWE and movies and entertainment.

The one goal that I always tell all my family is just to continue to make as much money as possible and to stay healthy. If that means going to WWE, so be it. If that means staying here, so be it.
