No Retirement Match for The World’s Strongest Man
Summary
– Mark Henry confirmed he will not be re-signing with AEW.
– Henry’s back issues prevented him from having a retirement match.
– He is content with his current life despite not getting a final match.
Mark Henry made a significant impact with his debut at the AEW Double Or Nothing pay-per-view in 2021. However, he recently confirmed that he will not be re-signing with AEW. Throughout his tenure with the company, Henry expressed a desire to have a retirement match, but that never came to pass.
In an interview with Chris Van Vliet on the Insight podcast, Henry opened up about the reasons behind not having a retirement match. He revealed that his back problems ultimately prevented him from competing. Despite the possibility of surgery, Henry has been postponing it, preferring to stay active for as long as possible.
“Yeah, my body said man f*** your plan! My back gave out. It just never allowed me [to compete] and I can probably have surgery. I keep putting it off, because I just want to keep moving around. But eventually I’m gonna have to just get it fixed,” Henry shared.
While he may not get the retirement match he once envisioned, The World’s Strongest Man is content with his life post-AEW. He has come to terms with the reality of his situation and continues to enjoy his current endeavors.
