Question Over Mark Henry’s Role In AEW

Mark Henry shocked the world when he made his debut at the AEW Double Or Nothing pay-per-view last year. AEW became only the second company ever that Henry has worked in. He also can’t wrestle for a sad reason.

The World’s Strongest Man has also signed a multi-year deal with the company. The WWE Hall Of Famer has yet to compete inside the squared circle after signing with AEW.

While speaking on a recent episode of The Jim Cornette Experience, Jim Cornette talked about Mark Henry’s status in AEW. He questioned Henry’s role in the company.

“Keep him doing what? What’s he f*cking doing? (…) He’s got a bad back, and I love Mark Henry, and Mark’s had a long career and we helped train him, and I’ve never had a cross word with him until he went nuts and got all dramatic about my goddamn chicken joke a few years ago, and then I was disappointed in him.

But he can’t wrestle anymore, so I thought they were gonna make him an announcer, but then they backed up on that. They signed him with big fanfare. So I don’t have a problem with employing Mark Henry, but what does he do there? You could find something for a guy like that to do, but they haven’t.”

Henry had previously stated that he wants to wrestle in AEW, but that won’t be happening anytime soon. Henry last competed in the ring as one of the many participants at the Greatest Royal Rumble in 2018.
