I actually really hope TNA signs Kennedy, he is a good talent despite what people say. He's pretty good on the mic and in front of a crowd and is ok in the ring, with a bit more training, could be very good. Who cares if he get's injured some of the time, he's had what? Like three injuries... two of which were freak incidences, and they just happened to be long term injuries.
Thoughts of how they are going to explain this on RAW now that he has made an official title challenge to Randy Orton?
-- As we reported earlier, Mr. Kennedy was officially released from World Wrestling Entertainment earlier today. 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.

Fast Forward to about 1 minute and 8 seconds. Notice the sloppy back suplex and how Orton reacts. That's probably what got Kennedy fired.
I read on PWI that the reason Kennedy was released was because of a botched back body drop that could have broken Orton's neck.
I have also read on a few sites that Orton and Kennedy had a backstage conforntation after the match. Its also being reported that the RKO on Kennedy was not planned and Orton stiffed him on purpose to send a message.
Good to see that Orton was some Hunteresque pull backstage. Its also good to know that the WWE is willing to protect its top stars from people who should spend sometime in wrestling school.
not only this, but earlier during that match when Kennedy was at the cornor of the nuggets team; he threw an elbow at Orton and Orton actually got hurt from it. I remember that incident when I first saw the match last monday. (Orton was outside checking on his eye and his forhead for quiet a while).
