Kane and The Big Show

Kane and was a tag team that performed in World Wrestling Entertainment on the RAW brand.

History
Although they have teamed up before in previous occasions (one notable time was their short lived quest for the WWF Tag Team Championship at ) it wasn't until 2005 when they made a functional team. At , the fans had a choice of who would be the third man to join John Cena and Kurt Angle in the Triple Threat main event for the WWE Championship. The two were choices along with Shawn Michaels. Michaels won the vote which meant that Kane and Big Show had to face Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch for the World Tag Team Championship. Kane and Big Show won the match and became champions. The two dominated RAW's tag team division, this dominance even prompted Jonathan Coachman to say it is unfair such a tag team can be formed.

In the latter half of 2005, an interbrand feud between the RAW and brands included Kane and Big Show. During the feud, Kane and Big Show played the role of monster tweeners. This meant they were cheered on RAW, but booed on Smackdown! The two invaded SmackDown! twice, the first resulted in them double chokeslamming the World Heavyweight Champion Batista while the second involved them chokeslamming Batista through an announcers table. When SmackDown! superstars returned the offer by invading RAW, Kane and Big Show chokeslammed Batista through a car windshield but were later in the night met by Batista who beat the two down with a pipe.

The feud ended at , when the Kane and Big Show took on SmackDown's WWE Tag Team Champions Batista and Rey Mysterio. RAW's Tag Team Champions won that match after Kane pinned Mysterio.

The pair would go on to feud with Carlito and Chris Masters. Show and Kane would go on to defeat the opposing pair in a World Tag Title match at WrestleMania 22.

The next day, on the April 3rd edition of RAW, Spirit Squad members Kenny and Mikey defeated The Big Show and Kane to win their World Tag Team Championships with help from the other members of the Spirit Squad (Nicky, Mitch, and Johnny), ending The Big Show and Kane's 154 day reign as the World Tag Team Champions.

The next week, Kane snapped and got them DQ'd in a rematch for the Tag Titles; He Chokeslammed the entire Spirit Squad, the referee and eventually Big Show himself, dissolving the once-successful tag team.

On April 17 edition of RAW The Big Show came to stop Kane from chokeslamming Lilian Garcia. They met up in the ring but this time The Big Show got the better of Kane delivering a chokeslam of his own to his former partner. Afterwards Kane sat up and had a sadistic smile on his face and was laughing. On April 25 on RAW The Big Show once again provoked Kane and was then attacked.

At Backlash on April 30, 2006, the match between Big Show and Kane went to a no-contest after Big Show hit Kane with a chair.
