Anderson got fired only four days after the match. Apparently, Randy Orton, in a fit of rage, complained to management about Kennedy’s unsafe nature. Kennedy called Randy out in a ninety-minute interview.
“He literally blew up in front of all the talent including Vince and Stephanie and began to lecture me about how I had to be careful and his health was very important. It just doesn’t make sense to me…”
Orton later justified his action and wished Anderson good luck. Allegedly, John Cena too supported Orton.
After this incident, Anderson moved on to TNA and became the company’s world champion. However, the incident stayed with him for a while.
When Orton got injured at a PPV, Anderson sent out a cryptic tweet about Karma. Many believe the tweet was directed towards Orton. The tweet said, “I have one thing to say: Kharma is a M**********R!!”
