While Vince McMahon has usually been portrayed as a serious and heel "authority figure" on WWE TV, he is known to play hilarious pranks on WWE Superstars every now and then. One recent one was the prank that he and The Undertaker played on AJ Styles before WrestleMania 36.

Talking about this particular incident, Vince McMahon reportedly decided to play a prank on Mark Henry after an episode of SmackDown in 2011. The World's Strongest Man came out for a dark match after the show. What followed next was Mark Henry stood in the ring for several minutes, but nobody came out.

Henry went on to cut a promo, but his mic was continuously killed by WWE. Then multiple WWE Superstar's theme songs played, but nobody came out. Then Mr. McMahon's music hit, but when the WWE Chairman also decided to not show-up, a frustrated Mark Henry left the ring and went backstage.

A fuming Mark Henry went on to destroy WWE equipment worth thousands of dollars and even threatened Vince McMahon to quit. Ultimately, the WWE Chairman had to calm him down and apologize for his prank, which obviously didn't go very well with the World's Strongest Man.
