WWE is like a soap opera at times both in terms of what we see on our TV screens and in the backstage politics involved.

We’ve seen so many times over the years how certain wrestlers claim to be treated differently to others, while we’ve heard countless tales of fallouts and disagreements.
In such a heated environment where everyone is striving to be the top dog and with that, earn the most money, tensions are always going to be high.
However, according to former WWE superstar Ken Anderson (Mr Kennedy during his WWE run), backstage antics very much got him fired.
And he believes two of the biggest names in the business, John Cena and Randy Orton, helped get it done.

In fairness to Anderson (Kennedy), he was one of the hottest stars in WWE at his peak and his run with the Money in the Bank briefcase and as US Champion was entertaining.
However, he did make some in-ring errors and there are suggestions on multiple platforms he was also volatile backstage at times.
And after botching a move with Randy Orton during a 2009 episode of Raw, Kennedy believes that was the final straw.
“I got fired for dumping Randy [Orton] on his head. If you slow that video down, you can see that his neck never comes into contact with the mat. Even just the way that he bumped, he bumped in a manner where he lined up perfectly with the camera, so you can actually see that. He says I dumped him on his head, but you can see his neck; it’s a completely flat bump. From his shoulders to his ass was a complete straight line, flat bump,” Anderson said.
“I believe that Randy and John [Cena] worked together. They decided that day, let’s f—–g get him gone. And it worked,” Anderson shared.
Nevertheless, Anderson took his share of the blame and said that his departure was still down to himself.
“I’ve said this before, that was the straw that broke the camel’s back, but had I been doing what I should have done on a daily basis, that would have never occurred. They could have gone to Vince [McMahon] and said all whatever they wanted to,” Anderson added.
“The fact that my name kept coming up in a negative light and I kept kind of f—–g up in different ways, and that’s all on me. So, that was the straw that broke the camel’s back, but the reason I got fired is because of me.”
It seems that the big players in WWE can have a sway.
However, as Anderson says here, he has only himself to blame in the main and ultimately, there’s a reason why the likes of Cena and Orton have been on top for so long.
