Mark Henry had a three-year stint with Tony Khan's AEW. He left the company in May 2024 after the expiration of his contract. Despite being involved in major offscreen and onscreen roles, the former WWE World Champion recently threatened to expose the company.
In a recent interview with Poker Scout, Henry reflected on his tenure with AEW. The World's Strongest Man claimed that although he had a good run in the Jacksonville-based promotion, there were a couple of unpleasant incidents.
Although Henry refused to disclose them, he threatened to expose AEW if the company started mentioning those incidents. That being said, the 53-year-old maintained that he respected a lot of people in All Elite Wrestling.
“You know what? I had a good time at AEW despite the fact there were a couple of incidents that I won’t talk about unless they start talking about it. If they start talking about it, then I’m going to blast them because those were issues that related to me leaving. But, nonetheless, I met a lot of really cool people, some unbelievable talent. And I have a lot of respect for people in that organization, and I wish them well!” he said. [H/T: Wrestling Headlines]
