Mark Henry’s contract with All Elite Wrestling is slated to expire after signing with the promotion in 2021 at the Double or Nothing pay-per-view.
Just like Paul Wight departing from WWE to join AEW, it was a surprising move as both stars had been with WWE for such a long time. In Henry’s case, he had been with the company since 1996.
Henry became an analyst on AEW Rampage when the show started that same year on TNT, in addition to working backstage as a producer, scout, and mentor. Henry has described it as something of a “psychology coach.”
Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp reported today that Henry’s AEW contract is expected to expire this month. It’s unclear whether the two sides have been talking about a new deal or if Henry is preparing for the next chapter in his career.
Outside of AEW, Henry is also a regular on Busted Open Radio. Although the WWE Hall of Famer has discussed working on one more match after not wrestling since February 2017, it’s unclear whether he intends to proceed with the idea.
