Mark Henry Reveals Why He Left WWE For AEW

In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, AEW broadcaster Mark Henry revealed why he made the decision to leave WWE in 2021 following an illustrious 25-year stint with Vince McMahon’s company.

Henry currently works as a commentator, analyst, coach, and talent scout for AEW.

You can check out some highlights from the interview below:

On leaving WWE: “From a business standpoint, I wanted a position in the office because I didn’t want to wrestle anymore, and they wouldn’t hire me. I didn’t have experience on the corporate side, or the business side, or the executive side, or however you want to phrase it … I was not given that opportunity.”

On his eye for talent: “What people didn’t know is God gave me vision, and I can see where a wrestler can make it or not and there are people not even in the wrestling business and that I see them and I go ‘Wow, they would be a great wrestler.’”
