Mr. Kennedy hasnt been tied to a major wrestling promotion since 2016, but that could change if Tony Khan picks up the phone.
During a recent episode of the Mic Check podcast, the former WWE and TNA star made it clearhes willing to talk, and hes ready to return. When asked about the possibility of joining AEW, Kennedy didnt hesitate.
Kennedy also spoke about who hed want to work with if he did make the move. Hes not just thinking about a solo runhe wants to form a group with some familiar faces and even teased adding AEW star Julia Hart to the mix.
Though he recently appeared for TNA Wrestling earlier this year, it was only a one-off. Kennedy has largely been absent from the spotlight in recent yearsbut longtime fans remember exactly why his name still carries weight.
Mr. Kennedy had a big run in WWE, where he was once viewed as a future main eventer. He won the Money in the Bank briefcase in 2007 but lost it shortly after due to injury. His time with the company came to an end in 2009 after issues backstage and reportedly injuring Randy Orton during a televised match. From there, he joined TNA (as Mr. Anderson), where he found new life, winning the TNA World Heavyweight Championship twice before his eventual exit in 2016 due to reported disciplinary issues and a failed drug test.
Since then, Kennedy has remained active in wrestling through his Academy School of Professional Wrestling, where he trains the next generation of talent. But a run in AEW could be the comeback fans have been waiting for. Mr. Kennedy is ready. Now its up to Tony Khan.
