TORONTO – Kane not only tied his Brother of Destruction The Undertaker for the most all-time Survivor Series appearances (18), he also delivered a powerful blow in his ongoing struggle against The Wyatt Family, overcoming Luke Harper in a hard-fought Kickoff showdown on WWE Network.
Following Randy Orton’s stunning defection into the Wyatt fold several weeks ago on SmackDown LIVE, The Demon needed a victory against a member of the ominous faction in order to hold his ground. However, the win would not prove easy. Though the contest began with both monstrous Superstars sizing up the other, Harper quickly seized the advantage over his masked opponent by leaping at him through the ropes and out to the ringside floor – the first of several agile maneuvers the calculating competitor would execute throughout the match. Kane roared back, however, and delivered an earth-shattering Superplex off the top rope.
With every moment that followed, the action intensified. Yet, in the final moments, as Harper was about to attempt his patented Discus Clothesline, Kane countered with his signature chokeslam for the victory.
Will Kane’s stand against the forces of darkness bring about retribution from The New Wyatt Family? Find out on SmackDown LIVE, this Tuesday at 8/7 C on USA.
