Jim Ross Reveals Why Mr. Kennedy Had Backstage Heat With John Cena

During Mr. Kennedy’s run with WWE it seemed that he was destined to make it to the top of the ladder in the company, but his run came to an end when he was unceremoniously released from his contract.

Kennedy apparently rubbed some top stars the wrong way, and during a recent episode of Grilling JR, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross noted that Cena took it personally when Kennedy used his name to get fans to boo.

“Yeah it did ruffle Cena’s feathers. Cena took it personally and thought, ‘OK, enough is enough.’”

Ross went on to say that although Kennedy was trying to generate heat and played it off as him being a heel, he was in the wrong.

“To encourage the audience by your rhetoric to boo the appointed #1 babyface in the company is not wise. So he was just being a heel, being his excuse, is a weak ass excuse. That’s my take on that deal. You don’t do anything to chip away at the image or the standing of a John Cena in this case, or anyone else in that top babyface role. You just don’t do it. It’s counterproductive. It’s not being cute, it’s not being funny, it’s not just being a heel.”
