5 greatest moments of Mark Henry's career

#2 The Fake Retirement

While the fake retirement angle only led to a rather short feud with John Cena for the WWE Championship, there is no doubt that this was one of the greatest swerves that WWE have ever pulled. Interrupting WWE Champion John Cena after weeks of cryptically teasing his retirement on social media, it seemed that the time had come for the World's Strongest Man to ride off into the sunset.

After taking the crowd and the entire WWE Universe on an emotional ride, Henry embraced John Cena in an act of respect. In what turned out to be a transcendental moment, Henry dashed all those emotions in an instant and gave Cena a World's Strongest Slam.

Henry then proceeded to demand an opportunity for John Cena's WWE Championship. Even though he was ultimately defeated at Money In The Bank, Henry's last high profile feud in WWE just might have been his best. He created a legendary moment, entertained the fans, and gave John Cena exactly the credibility that he needed, going into a feud with the red hot Daniel Bryan.
