Mark Henry explains why he left WWE for AEW

Mark Henry made a name for himself in WWE, where he wrestled for several years. He was one of their top stars for several decades. Hence, it was surprising when the 53-year-old showed up in AEW in 2021. He was a member of the commentary team for Rampage and took on a backstage role in Tony Khan's promotion.

Speaking on the Attitude Era podcast, The World's Strongest Man said that he wanted to be an executive in WWE but claimed the company would have never hired him for that role.

"I never went back and forth. I left [WWE] after I retired. I wanted to be more on the executive side; they wouldn't hire me on the executive side. I didn't have enough experience, [and] the technical education, and going to AEW proved that I knew what I was doing. I was helping other people at WWE with their jobs. People were like, 'Hey, man, can you help me with this?' I was always helping. When it came to scouting, I could see something and go, 'That's not right. Fix that, fix that,' and then it was good," he said. [H/T: Wrestling Inc.]
