During this week’s “The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy” podcast, the AEW star discussed the plans that were supposed to happen after Mr. Kennedy won the Money in the Bank briefcase in 2007 at WrestleMania 23.
Hardy claims that Kennedy was supposed to defeat The Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Title.
“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.
