Mark Henry’s debut at AEW Double Or Nothing in 2021 shocked the wrestling world. However, Henry has not accomplished much within the company in the three years since. It comes as no surprise that he will not be signing a new contract with AEW.
Reports earlier this week indicated that Henry’s contract with AEW is due to expire later this month. This led to AEW President Tony Khan addressing the situation, but the answer was clear as day.
Mark Henry announced on Busted Open Radio on Monday, May 27, that he will not be signing a new contract with AEW when his contract expires on Tuesday, May 28.
Henry discussed the mutual decision to part ways and emphasized that he is not leaving the sport of professional wrestling. He expressed happiness with his work alongside Tony Khan over the past three years.
“Well Dave, you know 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. I appreciate everything that happened at AEW with Tony Khan and the Khan family. I had a great experience and I do feel like it’s time for me to take more time to handle TheMarkHenry.com and the Remarkable brand and focus that attention on what my next steps are, and I’m not going to be renewing my deal. It’s a mutual thing. If I can’t dedicate 100% of myself, then it’s only fair for both parties to end the relationship on a positive note. Like I said, it’s been nothing but positive. I’ve done my best to help as many people as I 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. I am not leaving pro wrestling. What I’m saying is that 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.”
We will have to wait and see where Mark Henry ends up next. He could return to WWE and share his infinite knowledge with the new generation of WWE Superstars.
