Mark Henry on his feud with the John Cena
During a recent interview with Heavy, Mark Henry opened up about his feud with John Cena, including a memorable clash at Money in the Bank 2013, where Cena retained the WWE Championship against Henry.
He said, “The other one is after my retirement speech and I turned on John Cena which is one of the more historical wrestling moments in history. I was so beat up that I wanted to go home, that I didn’t really wanna wrestle no more. I should have told them, ‘Nah, I’m not gonna go home.’ Like, let’s run a six-month program and we could’ve had many matches, but you know, I was ready to go.”
Henry also said that he would have become the WWE Champion if he didn’t reveal his retirement plans to the WWE Creative team. Additionally, he mentioned that he might have held the title for an additional six months if he hasn’t engaged in discussions with the WWE team
However, Mark Henry retired in 2018, after his last match at the Greatest Royal Rumble event. In April 2018, WWE honored the ‘World Strongest Man’ by inducting him into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2018. He was a part of WWE untill 2021 and joined AEW as coach and commentator in 2021.
On the otherhand, the WWE fans are eagerly expecting the return of John Cena to the WWE, hoping he secures another WWE title and surpasses Ric Flair’s record.
