As we reported earlier, Mr. Kennedy was officially released from World Wrestling Entertainment yesterday. This is coming as a shock to many. Kennedy had returned to Raw on Monday after rehabbing from a badly injured shoulder. Kennedy ended up injuring his wrist after taking a RKO from Randy Orton.
It is being reported that Randy Orton & Kennedy had words backstage after Raw went off the air, it wasn’t heated, but that Orton told him he had to be careful out there so he wouldn’t injure anyone in the ring. There wasn’t any other complaints backstage.
A possibility of a reason why Kennedy was released was the pull that Orton has with Vince McMahon. Another possibility is that because he is injury prone, and WWE wouldn’t be able to capitalize on their work on his character. The ladder of the two is more likely the reason he was released. It should also be noted that Vince soured on Kennedy last year when he was injured. A wrist injury during his first match back with the company likely didn’t help matters.
More soon.
