4 WWE Superstars Randy Orton requested to work with and 2 he did not

#4 Randy Orton did not request to work with Mr. Kennedy

As long-term followers of backstage WWE stories will know, Randy Orton did the exact opposite of requesting to work with Mr. Kennedy when he allegedly made a complaint about the former United States Champion.

Back in May 2009, Kennedy teamed with Cena, Batista, Jerry Lawler and MVP to defeat Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Ted DiBiase Jr., The Big Show and The Miz in a 10-man tag team match on RAW.

One of the most memorable moments from the match came when Kennedy hit Randy Orton with a back suplex, resulting in The Viper complaining that his opponent hurt his neck by executing the move in an unsafe way.

Kennedy, who was released later that week and never worked for WWE again, told Wrestling Inc. in 2016 that Randy Orton and Cena both decided to raise the issue with Vince McMahon.

“So anyway, here's the thing, he [Randy Orton] went to Vince and said something, that I was dangerous to work with. And I think Cena had a hand in that too. Like, Cena helped out and he said, 'Hey, we need to go to Vince.' I didn't get along with him too well.”

While Randy Orton claimed to have suffered a neck injury due to the botched move, Kennedy maintains that his opponent’s neck did not even come into contact with the ring canvas.
