Mark Henry last wrestled a singles match in February 2017 when he lost to Braun Strowmna on Raw. Since then, he has wrestled in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 33 and the Greatest Royal Rumble match in 2018. While not having an official retirement match, it was believed his in-ring days were behind him. Still, speaking on Busted Open, he recently revealed he wants to wrestle in the next six months. His motivation is catching up to his close friends Paul Wight’s record of wrestling in four decades.
He mentioned Randy Orton as a possible opponent as the last time he was on WWE television was Raw Legends Night back in January, which saw him bullied by Orton while he rode a scooter. The match, though, might not necessarily be in WWE as Henry’s current legends contact status is not publicly known. The former Olympic weightlifter has been associated with WWE since 1996 and does appear to be a WWE lifer, so the idea of him wrestling elsewhere seems far-fetched. However, the same was thought of Paul Wight, who recently jumped to AEW.
