Gonna add my two cents into this.
Kane, getting pushed is a good thing imo. Next to Austin he was my favorite wrestler from the Attitude era. He like many people have said is well deserving of a main event spot and even one more run with the belt. Even though I'm not as big a fan of his as I used to be, if he did win the world title I world mark like a bitch. He, and even Big Show for that matter are long overdue for runs with the strap. Kane has lost a few steps since his run as the masked monster that he once was, but he is still a quality big man. I look at him like I look at Abyss in TNA, I like them, they aren't bad in the ring and can remain pretty over face or heel. Kane has been pretty over since his debut.
tbh, I was really digging his mic work on Smackdown. He was always vastly underrated by many people on here, both mic wise and in-ring wise. Not to many people have put as many people over as him, and not lost all credibility imo in doing so.
Honestly, I thought Kane could have won, and had a good run with the world title a few times since his 1st, albeit short run back in 1998.
