WWE legend Glenn Jacobs, who is known in the wrestling world as Kane, issued a challenge to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz on Thursday. The wrestler, who is now the mayor of Knox County in Tennessee, asked the Democrat to a charity wrestling match.
Kane’s challenge to Governor Tim Walz
On a podcast with Gavin Newsom this week, Walz said, “I think I could kick most of their a–. I know I can outrun them. I don’t know if we’re going to fall into that place where we, okay, we challenge you to, you know, a WWE fight here, type of thing.”
Kane, a fervent Donald Trump supporter, took issue with that comment. The 7-foot former WWE wrestler challenged the governor to a fight on social media platform X. He also set some ground rules for the encounter.
“All joking aside, @GovTimWalz, let’s put our money where our mouth is…in a charity wrestling match. We’ll split the gate 50/50 between our chosen organizations. I’ll kick things off myself with a $10,000 donation.,” Kane wrote on X. “What do you say?”
Will Kane team up with The Undertaker?
As per Fox News, Kane might team up with The Undertaker for the fight. The duo were known as the Brothers of Destruction in their WWE career. They had jointly urged voters to support President Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
This came after fellow WWE wrestler Dave Bautista made an appeal to voters to support Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
Kane mocks Tim Walz on social media
