Ex-WWE Star Gets Candid About Alleged Heat With Triple H

A former WWE star has responded to questions about their relationship with Triple H.

Ken Anderson signed with WWE in February 2005, but after initially being viewed as someone who lacked potential, Paul Heyman ensured he made it up to the main roster that August.

Under the name Mr. Kennedy, the star quickly impressed on SmackDown before moving to Raw. However, he had an unfortunate knack for getting injured during big moments and was later suspended for falling foul of the company’s wellness policy.

In May 2010, Mr. Kennedy was released, reportedly at the behest of Randy Orton, who accused the star of being reckless in the ring. There were also reports that Kennedy had found himself on the wrong side of John Cena.

Mr. Kennedy Had Difficult Relationship With Triple H

On a new episode of his Mic Check podcast, the star reflected on his WWE run and responded to a fan question about his relationship with Triple H. He noted that during that period, he got the impression The Game didn’t like him, although he conceded he didn’t especially give him a reason to do so.

However, he put any issues down to circumstances and timing.

“Man, that’s a tough one to answer,” he began. “I felt like he didn’t like me at the time for whatever reason. I probably didn’t give him a reason to like me… I got to SmackDown, and I earned the respect of all those guys, and then, I guess, when I got over to Raw, I just assumed that everybody else was gonna just…

I don’t know what I was feeling, but, like, I never went out of my way to, like, be ultimate, like, ultra-friendly or approachable to those guys.

And, yeah, I always felt like those guys didn’t like me. So we were professional. And I’ve, since then, I’ve had interactions with him. I’ve talked to him. I feel like I was a different person back then, and I also see that like he was a different person as well. So I think that sometimes it can be just circumstance, timing, and everything.”

Following his WWE exit, Kennedy became a World Champion with TNA, before launching his own wrestling school in 2016. During a recent interview, the veteran recalled training Tiffany Stratton, praising her for picking up wrestling so quickly.

However, he was more critical of another former student Gable Steveson, suggesting he never really loved pro wrestling.
