Johnson, who is a popular known as Kane in the ring, beat Democrats Linda Haney in the elections after winning two-thirds of the vote in Knox County.
Former WWE star Glenn Johnson, 51, has joined the league of sports and entertainment stars who took their career to another level by taking up political challenge as he was elected the Mayor of Tennessee in the United States.
Having won the elections, he became the second WWE star to win public office in the US after Jesse Ventura, who was elected mayor of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota in 1990, going on to be elected state governor in 1998.
Jacobs became a celebrity in the mid-90s after playing the character Kane, the masked half-brother of The Undertaker.
According to BBC, Jacobs won the election after promising to taxes low, and also improved infrastructure while "transparency" becomes his watchword.
"There are so many great things our county has to offer, and frankly the rest of the country needs to know about it."
