WWE star Kane has defeated opponents in the ring, and now he’s doing the same in politics.
Kane, whose real name is Glenn Jacobs, has been elected Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee.
The 51-year-old Republican won two-thirds of the vote, campaigning on issues like keeping taxes low, improved infrastructure and “transparency”.
“The thing someone like me brings to a race like this is, because of who I am, I can put Knox County in a positive light, nationally,” he told.
Kane is the second WWE star to win public office in the US, following Jesse Ventura.
Ventura was elected mayor of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, in 1990, going on to be elected state governor in 1998.
