Booker T says Mark Henry could face WWE legend in AEW
Booker T believes that AEW's latest signing, Mark Henry, could perhaps have a match with former WWE Superstar Paul Wight.
Booker T, on his Hall of Fame podcast, discussed Mark Henry's switch to AEW. The two-time WWE Hall of Famer has predicted that the World's Strongest Man could face another former World Heavyweight Champion, Big Show, aka Paul Wight.
"Well, maybe, the match is pretty much made right there - the Big Show vs Mark Henry. Maybe that's the send-off match for - I'm not going to send both of these guys out to pasture or anything like that, so I don't want to get ahead of myself. I know that's the match they can have. But Mark Henry was talking about working with younger guys. You look at Mark Henry, you can see that he's been in the gym, looks like he's got himself in shape, to maybe have another run or a few more matches."
Booker T stated that he was surprised to see Mark Henry make the move to AEW after spending 20+ years with WWE.
