Kane and Christain had intense on-screen rivalry but their beef has some real-life aspects to it as well. During an appearance on WWE Photo Shoot, The Big Red Machine revealed that he never liked Christian. He also narrated an incident, explaining the reason behind his aversion to the current AEW star:

“I’ve never liked Christian. One time at the airport I saw him. He was like, ‘Have you had anything to eat?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah, I just had a burrito,’ and he punches me in the stomach runs away. That is Christian. Anytime I had the opportunity to chokeslam Christian, I took advantage of it!”

I mean, it’s all bucket list things that are happening now that I cooked up while I was retired. If I was ever able to get back, this would be cool [and] this would be cool and now I’m getting to do it.”
