Mr. Kennedy was released from his WWE contract back in 2009. In a recent interview with WrestlingInc.com, Kennedy says that Randy Orton and John Cena are the reason why he was released from the company. Below is the story from his point of view.
Here is what he said:
“I was accused of dropping [Orton] on his head. You can watch that video in slow motion, high-definition, and you can see that his neck never even comes into contact with the canvas. He lands as flat as flat can be and I called him the next day and said, ‘hey, dude, I watched the tape and you didn’t land on your neck, man.’ And he was like, ‘well, umm, okay’. And then, he called me a little later and said that he had gone out to the truck and watched the tape with Johnny [Laurinaitis], which I don’t know why you’d do that, he said he went out to the truck, watched the tape, and he said, ‘from that angle, you can’t see, but there is a different angle and you can see that I landed rally high on my traps”

He continued:
“And I was like, ‘well, that’s not your neck,’ and also, you can actually see the shadow of his neck on the canvas if you slow it down. So anyway, here’s the thing, he went to Vince and said something, that I was dangerous to work with. And I think Cena had a hand in that too. Like, Cena helped out and he said, ‘hey, we need to go to Vince.’ I didn’t get along with him too well” (Source: Wrestling Inc).
