At one point, Mr. Kennedy was supposed to become WWE world champion.
During the latest episode of his podcast, The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, the wrestling legend reflected on a time when WWE had planned for Mr. Kennedy to defeat The Undertaker to capture the world title.
Featured below is an excerpt from the show where Hardy recalls WWE planning for Mr. Kennedy to beat 'The Dead Man' back in 2007 to capture the top prize.
“Undertaker was going to be out to have surgery. The initial plan at that time was for Ken Kennedy to cash the Money in the Bank in and win the title from The Undertaker, but some things happened at that point that ended up changing. The reason Vince decided to have me go out and beat Mr. Kennedy at that point was that whenever he won the World title, he would have a competitor, someone to work with automatically. So I was being set up for a World title program with Ken Kennedy who was going to defeat The Undertaker for the championship. But if I’m not mistaken, I feel like Ken got hurt. I think he got hurt and then he had to drop it (the Money in the Bank) to Edge, who beat Undertaker."
