Ken Anderson first signed with WWE in 2005, and he went on to be known as Mr. Kennedy. He was called up to the WWE main roster only five weeks after joining developmental and he quickly took the WWE by storm. Kennedy went on to work with some of the biggest names in the business, and fans still talk about his WWE run to this very day.
There’s been little to no mention of Mr. Kennedy on WWE programming since he parted ways with the company, but now it seems that he and WWE are on good terms as he recently signed a new deal with World Wrestling Entertainment. Mr. Kennedy broke some major news during an interview with Tantalizing Tony when he revealed that he has signed a new Legends contract with WWE.
“One other thing, I haven’t announced this anywhere really, but I just signed a WWE Legends contract. I’ve told a couple of other people here, but like, this is probably the first time, it probably hasn’t gotten out there yet.”
This news is sure to excite fans who have been waiting years for WWE to acknowledge Mr. Kennedy’s contributions to the company. During his run with WWE, Mr. Kennedy not only feuded with some of the biggest names in the industry, he also captured the United States Championship and won the Money in the Bank briefcase.
Unfortunately Mr. Kennedy’s Money in the Bank win is infamous due to the fact that he had to drop the briefcase to Edge after he suffered a torn triceps muscle and it was thought that he would be out for several months. It was later discovered that the injury was not as serious as it was initially thought to be.
WWE decided to release Ken Anderson in 2009 and he made the jump to TNA Wrestling shortly after. Anderson is still active in the ring and has wrestled a number of matches throughout 2026.
