Big Backstage News On Kennedy’s WWE Firing

As we reported earlier, Mr. Kennedy was officially released from World Wrestling Entertainment late on Friday night. This comes as a shock to many as Kennedy had just 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 in the main event that night.

It is being reported that Randy Orton & Kennedy had words backstage after Raw went off the air. It wasn’t heated, but Orton told Kennedy he had to be careful out there so he wouldn’t injure anyone in the ring. There weren’t any other complaints backstage.

Some backstage sources are looking at the pull that Orton has with Vince McMahon as why Kennedy was released. Another contributing factor could have been that he is injury prone, and WWE wouldn’t be able to capitalize on their work on his character.
