Yeah, and because he's extremely popular among fans. He only became a DLC in MK 9 because they asked Ed Boon to put him in the game somehow. Legacy is based in MK 1, so what is Kenshi doing in this series if he has nothing to do with MK 1? He's there because people love him.

I think it all points out to him coming back in MK X as well. He fits perfectly in the storyline because, like you said, Raiden is in great need for people to defend Earthrealm, and Kenshi is a noble and skilled Earthrealm warrior. The reason for him to be introduced in the campaign would be different - last time he wanted revenge on Shang Tsung, but Shang Tsung is already dead in MK X, so it couldn't be because of him - but well, why not?
