The early word on Mr. Kennedy’s surprising release from World Wrestling Entertainment last night is that almost injuring Randy Orton as well as himself during his match on Raw on Monday night was the straw that broke the camel’s back. For those of you who missed it, you can click here to see an exclusive video of the move that could have potentially injured the WWE Champion Randy Orton.
Kennedy made his return to Raw on Monday night after a ten month hiatus rehabbing a badly injured shoulder. As bad luck would have it, Kennedy ended up injuring his wrist after taking the RKO from Orton. Much more seriously in the eyes of management, Orton nearly re-injured his bad shoulder as a result of an errant maneuver on the part of Kennedy.
Following the show, Orton and Kennedy had words backstage, although it was not heated. Very calmly, Orton dressed him down, telling him he needed to be more careful so he wouldn’t injure anyone else in the ring.
