Netflix crew seen following Glenn Jacobs, known as WWE's Kane, on election night

Knox County's mayor-elect had a production crew following him around on election night.

A crew from Netflix was seen following around a particularly hard-to-miss candidate Thursday night as election results began to come down in Tennessee.

Glenn Jacobs, a republican known to millions as Kane from WWE, won the election for Knox County Mayor Thursday. He defeated Democratic nominee Linda Haney.

Jacobs said the crew following him around was filming for Netflix but could not give any more details on when anything would be released and what it would be called.

A man named Richie Walls on Instagram congratulated Jacobs on his victory.

"Looks like we got some amazing footage today for this special project!" He wrote in the post.

His bio states he's a "movie and TV producer".
