Finally in February of 2005 Mr, Kennedy signed a developmental contract with WWE. He was sent to OVW for six months, then in his WWE Smackdown debut on August 25, 2005 he was victorious over Funaki. His character was an arrogant and cocky guy who would take the microphone and introduce himself, this would become Kennedy's trademark. He even started a little feud with Smackdown ring announcer Tony Chimel because he didn't believe Chimel's announcements were good enough and lacked respect. Mr. Kennedy feuded with Funaki and then Hardcore Holly but would suffer his first loss at the hands of Eddie Guerrero on November 11, 2005.
