Has Kane wrestled since becoming the "Director of Operations"? I know he hasn't wrestled on TV, but I was wondering if anyone knows if maybe he's wrestled at any house shows in between then and now?
He is advertised to wrestle Big Show at MSG on December 27th, and I am very interested to see what he wrestles in.
Will he go back to his 2004-2011 tights and no top look? Will he wear what he's been wearing since 2012, just with no mask? Will he wrestle in his suit like IRS?
If anybody has any info I would be very interested in knowing what Kane will wrestle in from now on.
Thanks

judging from ''creative's'' lack of originality and direction with belt designs, storylines, commentary etc. i doubt they'll come up with something unique...maybe just blue scrubs and white wrist tape with no shirt. atleast corporate mandkind looked unique in 1998(creative perfectly merged his nutcase gimmick with his new corporate one by giving mankind a raggity shirt & tie, busted up winged eagle belt with tape, and kid friendly socko mandible claw).

I don't know if he had new attire He's going to have to have a new attire to wrestle in.... Unless he does some weird split personality gimmick where he's all corporate and professional in his suit, but puts back on the mask to wrestle and "unleashes the monster".

I remember thinking maybe the whole Kane giving his mask to Stephanie thing would lead to her and Trips holding it, and giving it to him backstage when they wanted him to do their bidding. Kane would have his back to the camera somewhere backstage, and that's when they cut a promo, pass it to him, and he puts it on. Maybe something LIKE that could happen and they make him compete in the Rumble to try and eliminate Punk and Bryan or something, and in the process they give him his mask and he brings his gear back for the time being.

I'm still waiting to see what exactly Kane's gimmick is. I'm not really sure where this is going yet. He took the mask off like almost 2 months ago now, and really, they have hardly used him. He had that one week where Triple H and Stephanie weren't there and he argued with Vickie and Brad Maddox, and that one verbal exchange with CM Punk, and besides that he's pretty much just stood in the background in backstage segments with the Authority and done NOTHING. I keep waiting for them to develop his character or do SOMETHING with him because I love Kane, he's one of my favorites...but it really seems like they are just paying him and flying him to TV to stand there in a suit and do nothing for the time being. Maybe this is like his down time because he is older, and despite being very overlooked, taken for granted and under appreciated by the fans, he's WWE's longest tenured full time performer and since his debut in 1997 he's been a very dependable work horse and company guy. He's got no ego, no selfishness, if ANYBODY should have been pushed more it's Kane... So maybe this is like a mini vacation for him, he hasn't been wrestling, and I guess December 27th is going to be his first match since October...maybe once he gets back in the ring they'll develop his new character more. Unless this match is just a random house show match and he's not going to wrestle on TV anymore? I'm so confused.

Honestly I doubt they have even thought that far ahead.

Yeah at first I was pissed at him coming out with the suit, but then as that week went on, I thought about it, and I decided to give it a chance as it could be a unique twist to Kane and there could be some big story around it. Now it's December, and all he has done is what you said pretty much. Just standing around with HHH/Stephanie. Hopefully we get to see him do some more important stuff soon.

Have they even said why he took off his mask and turned bad? Or is that just not worth the effort?

I don't know, I'm starting to think this angle could be a transition for him to retiring from in-ring competition. Hope I'm wrong though, since Kane is one of my favorites.

Basically Kane said that Triple H and Stephanie were making WWE a living hell and ruining people's lives...so he volunteered his services to them. He pretty much just wanted to be on their good side and reap the rewards of what's "best for business". But I doubt WWE knows where the Kane character is going. I doubt they have a plan or have this thought out. They don't even know if Triple H and Stephanie are heels or faces. They change from segment to segment. Triple H and Stephanie go with the audience and screw over Randy Orton by making him have to face Daniel Bryan....get huge cheers. Later on in the night, Triple H and Stephanie are acting as heels trying to screw over CM Punk. So if WWE can't decide from segment to segment if Triple H and Stephanie are heels...I doubt they have a plan for Kane yet.

The royal rumble speed-dating promo has him in the same attire before the corporate change. Although that probably means nothing

Honestly, who knows, they probably dont. I bet he wont even end up wrestling at that show, itll get canned and show will face someone else.
When Kane came back and had this character change, I was super excited to see where it goes because it is so different. But as you said, they've literally done NOTHING with him since and Im losing faith that they have any direction. They obviously unmasked him because he must be unmasked in the new SNE movie. But the whole point is you need to promote that star otherwise what was the point of unmasking him? Its boring watching him do nothing. Use the character as HHH and Stephs bouncer, not just having him stand there.
He probably doesnt have a corporate attire and it doesnt even look like they are building to that unless he snaps out of this leading to some WM match. Im honestly getting bored and fed up of waiting for them to actually do something with him. He said he is not ready to retire and feels great so put him in the damn ring.
