WWE legend Kane, now Mayor Glenn Jacobs, challenges Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to a charity wrestling match after Walz’s bold remarks about Trump supporters, sparking bipartisan buzz.

When Minnesota Governor Tim Walz boldly claimed he could "kick most Trump supporters' a--," he probably didn’t anticipate a response from a ***literal WWE legend***. But that’s exactly what happened when Glenn Jacobs, better known as Kane, stepped in with a challenge that’s hard to ignore.

Kane, who dominated the wrestling ring with his towering 7-foot frame and 300-pound build, is now the mayor of Knox County, Tennessee. But it seems his wrestling spirit is alive and well. Jacobs publicly invited Walz to a charity wrestling match, proposing they split the proceeds between their chosen organizations. To sweeten the deal, he even pledged a $10,000 donation to kick things off.

Jacobs tweeted, "All joking aside, @GovTimWalz, let's put our money where our mouth is...in a charity wrestling match. We'll split the gate 50/50 between our chosen organizations. I'll kick things off myself with a $10,000 donation. What do you say?" Now that’s how you turn trash talk into action!

Walz, who recently made the audacious comment during an episode of California Governor Gavin Newsom’s podcast, might have bitten off more than he can chew. He joked that he could outrun Trump supporters but seemed hesitant about stepping into the wrestling ring. "I don’t know if we’re going to fall into that place where we, okay, we challenge you to, you know, a WWE fight here, type of thing," he said. Uh, Governor, that’s exactly what just happened.

And if Walz is worried about this becoming a tag-team affair, he has every right to be. Kane has a pretty intimidating backup option: The Undertaker. Together, the duo was once known in WWE as the Brothers of Destruction, and they’ve shared more than just wrestling titles. The two even endorsed Donald Trump ahead of the last election, appearing in a TikTok video urging voters to "choose wisely." Imagine that—an election-themed WrestleMania!

Of course, this isn’t the first political-wrestling crossover we’ve seen. Former WWE star Dave Bautista, a vocal Harris and Walz supporter, once fired shots at Trump in a viral video. But when it comes to sheer physical presence, it’s hard to compete with Kane and The Undertaker. If this wrestling match ever happens, it might just be the most entertaining bipartisan event of all time.

Honestly, this story feels like a fever dream—politicians and WWE legends squaring off in a wrestling ring? It's like reality TV meets a Marvel crossover. But jokes aside, kudos to Glenn Jacobs for turning a heated comment into a potential charity event. Maybe Walz should start practicing his suplexes, just in case!
