Mark Henry wants to wrestle one more match in WWE
WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry has accomplished plenty over his 21-year career.
For much of that time, Henry endured a lot of questionable gimmicks and uneven booking, but he stuck with it and put together a memorable run between 2008 and 2013, a stretch where he won the ECW and World Heavyweight Championships.
With all those accolades, Henry doesn’t have anything left to prove as an in-ring performer. Still, “The World’s Strongest Man” believes he has at least one more match left in him.
Mark Henry wants to have one more match in WWE within the next six months.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Henry had this to say about a potential comeback while recounting his encounter with Randy Orton on Raw Legends Night this past January (h/t to Fightful’s Jeremy Lambert for the transcription):
"“I’d rather get punked out than get my ass whooped. Randy is not someone to mess around with if you’re not 100%….I’m walking on two feet, I’m 325 pounds. I’m lighter and trimmer than I’ve ever been. I plan on having a match in the next six months. I just want to have one match. If Randy is the guy, then so be it. Believe me, I’ll be ready and I won’t be on one foot in a push scooter. I have to wrestle in this decade. I’ve got to. Big Show has wrestled in four (decades) and I’ve wrestled in three (decades). I can’t let him have that over me.”"
In that Raw appearance Henry brought up, he was confronted in a backstage segment by Orton, who proceeded to berate Henry — as Orton did all the legends he came into contact with on that episode.
Henry last wrestled in WWE as part of the Greatest Royal Rumble, the eponymous match of WWE’s inaugural Saudi Arabia show that seconded as thinly veiled propaganda for the country. Henry entered fifth in the 50-man battle royal and eliminated three wrestlers before getting tossed out by Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler after about three and a half minutes of action. His last one-on-one match was on the February 13, 2017 episode of Raw, where he lost via pinfall to Braun Strowman.
