10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Oct 28)
5. Ken Anderson Blames John Cena For Getting Fired By WWE
The May 25, 2009 episode of Monday Night Raw marked the last appearance of Mr. Kennedy in WWE. Involved in a 10-man tag-team match, Kennedy inadvertently raised the ire of Randy Orton during the bout. Blowing a gasket backstage, Orton was apparently fuming that his opponent had carelessly dropped him on his neck during the match.
Leaving WWE shortly afterwards, Kennedy morphed into Mr. Anderson in TNA. Now simply known as Ken Anderson, the man spoke with WrestlingInc.com for an exclusive interview this past week. Whilst it's well known that Anderson blames Orton for getting him canned by WWE, it's not common knowledge that he also implicates John Cena.
During the interview, Anderson said that he never really got along with Cena behind the scenes. Due to this, he believes that John played a part in getting him fired by management. In Anderson's mind, Cena told Randy Orton that they needed to talk to Vince about their peer's supposed carelessness.
Not-so-coincidentally, it was only days after this that Anderson had his contract terminated by WWE. Randy Orton isn't the only one he points fingers at to this day.
