Mark Henry will exit AEW when his contract expires on May 28th.
All Elite Wrestling's roster goes far deeper than just active competitors. Since launching in 2019, AEW has employed a number of former wrestlers in coaching and producing roles, a move that gave the young company decades-worth of in-ring knowledge from the jump. Top talent from yesteryear like Billy Gunn, Dean Malenko, and Jerry Lynn were among the earliest signings to fulfill such backstage positions.
One of those talents that would pop in on broadcasts was Mark Henry. The WWE Hall of Famer joined AEW in 2021 and primarily served as a backstage correspondent for AEW Rampage. Henry also served as a mentor to the AEW roster, working with stars like Powerhouse Hobbs, Action Andretti, and Jade Cargill.Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Henry revealed that he will be exiting AEW when his contract expires on May 28th.
"My impending contract status has reached an end. My contract with AEW is set to expire tomorrow, the 28th. I wanted to address that matter. Tony Khan said at the press conference that he was very happy and proud of what we did together and I feel the exact same way," Henry said."I appreciate everything that happened at AEW with Tony Khan and the Khan family. I had a great experience.
"It's been nothing but positive. I've done my best to help as many people as I've could. There are still some things that I wanted to help with that I didn't get to finish, but those people have my phone number and anytime that they need to call me, I'm available for them," Henry added."I am not leaving pro wrestling. I'm going to take some time to work on some projects and I'm going to come back again in full force because that's what I do.
