#3 Randy Orton got fellow WWE star Mr. Kennedy fired

Accidents happen all the time in a WWE ring and sometimes Superstars are injured when this happens. Back in 2009, Mr. Kennedy was coming off the back of a long layoff following a dislocated shoulder and was put in a 10-man tag match on Monday Night RAW.

The Viper was part of that match and Kennedy delivered a botched belly-to-belly suplex to Randy Orton mid-way through the bout. It was seemingly enough to get him fired from WWE.

"Randy jumped really, really hard. In wrestling, it’s give and take. It was a matter of either I drop him on his head, or I help him through this. His neck never even touched the mat, which makes me wonder why he even went to the trainer’s room to get his neck taped up. He was so injured that he went on to wrestle three nights in Mexico."

Following the match, Orton headed to the back and spoke to WWE officials about Mr. Kennedy being dangerous in the ring. That was seemingly enough for the star to be given his release papers just four days later.
