Mark Henry Says He’ll Do A ‘Skull Session’ On AEW Dynamite

The AEW Double Or Nothing pay-per-view was certainly a night of shocking moments and incredible matches. It also included a couple of debuts, the biggest of which was Mark Henry, who made his first appearance in AEW.

The WWE Hall Of Famer is set to be an analyst for AEW’s upcoming show AEW Rampage. AEW President Tony Khan would also reveal more details regarding Henry’s role in the show and how he even made his way to AEW.

Now it seems Mark Henry has revealed his intentions in AEW and what he wants to accomplish. While speaking on Busted Open Radio, Mark Henry stated that he wants to help shape the stars of tomorrow as a coach, but doesn’t want to be perceived as a tyrant.

“I think I’ll be more of a coordinator. You look in the NFL, you have position coaches and you have the coordinator who sets the mandates and where we’re going, and the coaches go enforce the work. My idea of not being a tyrant and not being a standover micromanager, I’m not gonna do that. AEW’s a fun place. I see the free spirit and I wanna keep it that way, but I just wanna get into the heads of these young wrestlers. It’s all fine tuning, I’m not trying to change nobody.”

Mark Henry then talked about his work as an analyst on the upcoming show AEW Rampage and also his role on AEW Dynamite. Henry said his role in AEW will be similar to a skull session as they figure out the purpose and character of a star.

“I will be an analyst on Dynamite first. Bully [Ray] and I would call it a skull session where you figure out what a character does and what that particular individual should do and what not to do. Just because you know how doesn’t mean you should do it. AEW is not broken in the least little bit. If you watch that pay-per-view you can see that they’re growing and they’re excelling and I’m gonna help further that process.”

Mark Henry also signed a multi-year deal with AEW and it is highly likely he will be competing inside the squared circle for at least one match match as Henry made it clear on various occasions in the past. We will have to see how Mark Henry will fare in AEW.
