Mark Henry was the latest WWE legend to make the jump to All Elite Wrestling this weekend as the “World’s Strongest Man” arrived during Sunday’s Double or Nothing pay-per-view. Henry was last seen on WWE television during the Legend’s Night episode of Raw back in January and, while he hasn’t wrestled a match since the Greatest Royal Rumble back in 2018, had been talking about competing in one final match before retiring for good. Henry explained his decision to leave the WWE after more than two decades on Busted Open Radio on Tuesday.
