On September 8, 2006 edition of SmackDown!, Kennedy announced that he wanted to move over to RAW, as SmackDown didn't interest him anymore because he had already defeated every top performer on the roster. This led to SmackDown! General Manager Theodore Long making a match between Kennedy and The Undertaker (who Kennedy had never faced) to be held at WWE No Mercy 2006, which Kennedy would go on to win by disqualification.
On the October 13, 2006 edition of SmackDown!, Kennedy, now with a win over The Undertaker in the books, again stated his desire to move to RAW, and again Long put him against an opponent who he had never faced - this time Chris Benoit - with Kennedy's title on the line. Long said that, if Kennedy were to defeat Benoit, he would be given his release and be allowed to go to RAW. Kennedy lost the United States Championship to Benoit after a distraction from The Undertaker, who was standing in the entrance. Kennedy tapped out to the Crippler Crossface, marking his first submission loss.
Late in 2006, Kennedy and Montel Vontavious Porter took on the Brothers of Destruction (Kane and Undertaker) in various combinations. Kennedy was able to beat Kane with help from MVP in a No DQ Match. The next week, Kennedy and MVP lost to the Brothers Of Destruction. They first got counted out, and Theodore Long restarted the match with no countouts. Then they disqualified themselves with a low blow by Kennedy, and Long restarted the match again with no countouts and no disqualifications.
Kennedy and MVP would continue to feud with the brothers, with MVP feuding with Kane while Kennedy challenged The Undertaker to a match at Survivor Series, which was later announced as a First Blood match. Kennedy won that match after MVP turned on him and aimed for his head with a steel chair, but missed and hit The Undertaker instead, busting him open. After the match, the Undertaker viciously attacked Kennedy, forcing him to bleed. The Undertaker would finally get his revenge at Armageddon, when he defeated Kennedy in a Last Ride match.
After a brief hiatus, Kennedy returned to SmackDown! on January 5, 2007 and defeated Chris Benoit in a "Beat the Clock" match, with the overall prize being a shot at Batista's World Heavyweight Championship at the upcoming Royal Rumble. Kennedy's time of 5:07 ended up being the fastest, but he was unable to win the title from at the pay-per-view, though he did put Batista's shoulders on the mat for longer than three seconds when the referee was out of position. In a rematch on SmackDown! Batista defeated Kennedy again. From there Kennedy began a short feud with ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley, leading to a match at No Way Out which Kennedy won, but by disqualification, preventing him from becoming champion. Kennedy would challenge Lashley unsuccessfully on ECW on Sci-Fi and SmackDown! as well.
