Ken Anderson: I Believe That Randy And John Cena Worked Together To Get Me Fired

Ken Anderson says Randy Orton and John Cena worked together to get him fired from WWE.

In May 2009, Ken Anderson would return from a shoulder injury to WWE television. He wrestled a 5-on-5 tag team match, which ended up becoming the final bout of his WWE career.

Speaking on Tagging in with Chris Harris recently, Anderson opened up about his release.

“As everybody said, I got fired for dumping Randy [Orton] on his head. If you slow that video down, you can see that his neck never comes into contact with the mat even. Just the way that he bumped, he bumped in a manner that he lined up perfectly with the camera. So you can actually see. 

He says I dumped him on his head, but you can see the shadow of his, you can see his neck. It’s completely flat bump. From his shoulders to his ass was a complete straight line flat bump. 

I believe that Randy and John [Cena] worked together. They decided that day, ‘Let’s fucking get him gone.’ It worked. It is what it is. I said this before, that was the straw that broke the camel’s back. But had I been doing what I should have done on a daily basis, that never would have occurred. They could have gone to Vince and said all whatever they wanted to. … The fact that my name kept coming up in a negative light and I kept fucking up in different ways, that’s all on me. So, like I said, that was the straw that broke the camel’s back. But the reason I got fired is because of me, 100% because of me.”

Anderson believes things changed when he got sidelined due to his injury.

“We rode together (him and Randy) for probably two years, literally every week. So for that to happen and just the interactions that we had throughout that last day in LA, very, very cold. It was like something changed over the course of the nine months that I was out.”

In another interview, Ken Anderson recalled a conversation he had with Eddie Guerrero on the night of his final match. Fans can read his comments here.
