Regarding the Kane situation, I actually see this as his last hurrah. He'll get a nice little one-month feud against Bryan, which will end with Kane getting pinned/submitting at Extreme Rules (at least that's my guess). There will likely be a match stip that Kane is fired if he loses or HHH/Steph will fire Kane after he loses (if it's HHH who fires Kane, I'd expect one last "flare of rebellion" with Kane delivering a chokeslam to HHH to a huge pop), after which Kane will retire.
So, I doubt there will be a return to the midcard in the future for Kane. But, a return to "regular life" for him (and a likely position in the House of Representatives) are probably in his near future.
