Mr. Kennedy Released by WWE
Shocking news from World Wrestling Entertainment involving WWE Raw Superstar, Mr. Kennedy. According to WWE.com, Kennedy was released Friday, May 29, 2009. WWE released the following brief statement on its website:
Kennedy had just recently made a surprise return to WWE Raw where he was the 5th mystery tag team partner in a 10 man All-Star tag match. Kennedy was on the "good guy" Lakers side along with John Cena, Batista, Jerry Lawler and MVP, and looked good in the ring. His team won as MVP scored the winning pinfall. Earlier in the night, Kennedy interrupted WWE Champ Randy Orton and threw his name into possible future title contenders.
Kennedy's a former United States Champion and winner of the 2007 Money in the Bank contest at Wrestlemania. Unfortunately he was injury-plagued since then, and never officially got the big push for a major title. It seemed Monday as if that push was right around the corner. Now it comes as quite a shock to see the release of Kennedy, a popular WWE star associated with the 'Mr Kennneeedddyyy... Kennedy' double name announcement who was famous for cutting promos with a mic that dropped down from up above.
As of now, there's no word on why Kennedy was released in less than a week after his surprise return, but speculation running rampant. He was suspended once under WWE's Wellness policy yet claimed he received an outdated prescription from a man he thought was a doctor. He's also been in hot water with WWE for discussing how he felt the Policy was too severe when it came to preventing steroid use. The injury bug may be the ultimate reason for Kennedy's release. He was out for nine months with a dislocated shoulder, and apparently suffered a wrist injury this past Monday on Raw. Expect WWE's main competitor, TNA, to snatch up this highly marketable and entertaining wrestling superstar.

From what I'm reading, he was fired because he messed up a move during that match that almost injured Randy Orton in a bad way.
