Mark Henry is the latest WWE legend to make the switch to AEW. The World's Strongest Man's switch to AEW was just as surprising as the rest on this list. Unlike the others on this list, Henry hasn't wrestled for another promotion apart from WWE since he signed for them in 1996.

Henry has been a part of various eras in WWE and won a number of accolades in his spell with the company. Following the end of his in-ring career, Henry played a role backstage as a producer as well as a mentor.

The World's Strongest Man had recently revealed that he wants to have one more match and had gotten in shape. Many expected it to be in WWE, but it seems that it will most likely happen in AEW.

Henry will be a commentator on AEW's upcoming show, Rampage, while also being a coach. It is expected that he will get his final match as well.

Mark Henry held two world titles during his career as he won the ECW Championship and the World Heavyweight title. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2018 by AEW star Paul Wight.
