Green Bay Grappler released just days after his comeback

Mr Kennedy has been released by the WWE, just days after making his long-awaited comeback from injury. The former United States champion received a rousing reception from the Los Angeles Staples Centre crowd when he returned to the ring on May 25's edition of Monday Night RAW. It proved a victorious night for the Green Bay Grappler as he teamed up with fellow 'LA Lakers' John Cena, Batista, MVP and Jerry 'The King' Lawler to overcome a 'Denver Nuggets' team comprising Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase, Big Show and The Miz. Kennedy also seemed set for a run at WWE champion Orton after grabbing the mic and threatening the Legend Killer earlier that night. But less than a week later, the 33-year-old has been told he will need to look for alternative employment. A WWE statement read: "World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of RAW superstar Mr Kennedy (Ken Kennedy). "WWE wishes to Ken the best in all future endeavours."
