10 WWE Stars Who Had Heat With Randy Orton
Randy Orton certainly didn't like everyone in WWE
1. Mr. Kennedy
Ken Kennedy, a charismatic WWE star once tipped to be a long-term main event player, didn’t do himself any favours.
He’d committed several sins following his main roster debut, from frequent injury layoffs to becoming embroiled in a steroid scandal, but the straw that broke the camel’s back was when he allegedly nearly broke Randy Orton’s neck.
Kennedy delivered a back suplex to Orton in the 10-man tag main event of the May 25, 2009, episode of Raw, with Randy landing in a way he clearly did not like – even if video evidence suggested it wasn’t the potential career-ender that he thought it was.
According to reports, The Viper openly complained about the ‘unsafe’ Kennedy – who was wrestling his first match in several months - and refused to work with him.
The former United States Champion has also claimed that Orton lobbied Cena to complain to Vince McMahon about his work, which ultimately persuaded McMahon to get rid of him.
Kennedy was bitter about the situation for a long time afterwards, but in recent years has come to accept that his firing didn’t exactly come out of nowhere, and he and Orton have since cleared the air.
