The Divas’ Favorite Demon: The twisted, romantic history of Kane

Maybe it’s his dark and mysterious aura. Maybe it’s the muscles. Maybe, as he once said himself, “chicks dig the mask.” Whatever it is, Kane has always had a strange way with the ladies of WWE. Despite his general aura of madness and his M.O. of utter destruction, Divas have been drawn to the animal magnetism of The Big Red Monster for the better part of his 15-year career in WWE

The latest in Kane’s series of would-be suitors? The crazy-eyed pixie AJ, who may be full-on in love with Kane as he prepares to face Daniel Bryan (her ex) and WWE Champion CM Punk (the guy who “digs” her) at No Way Out in a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Title. In any case, she gave Kane one heck of a smooch on Raw SuperShow during the foursome’s Mixed Tag Match. While Kane’s current romantic entanglement plays out its course, WWE.com looks back at the various romantic exploits of Kane: lover, fighter, champion of women, and most of all … The Divas’ Favorite Demon.

We suppose it’s only fitting that a self-styled “Geek Goddess” would have a thing for a man in a mask. As Kane became involved in the WWE Title rivalry between CM Punk and Daniel Bryan in summer 2012, he also found himself entangled in their romantic struggle over the affections of AJ, who had been spurned by Bryan and found herself gravitating toward a hesitant Punk. On the June 4th episode of Raw SuperShow, AJ threw yet another monkey wrench into the equation by fixing Kane with a flirty look that seemed to stun The Devil’s Favorite Demon. She later upped the ante by stalking him through the halls of SmackDown the following Friday and full-on kissing him the next Monday on Raw. The kiss sent Kane into a near catatonic state while the WWE Universe roared “YES! YES! YES!” and lead him to abandon the Mixed Tag Team Match he was embroiled in at the time. That match ended with AJ & Punk claiming victory over Kane & Bryan, as Kane stared in disbelief at AJ from the stage.
