Speaking on the latest edition of the Busted Open Radio podcast, Henry made an intriguing revelation about his relationship with WWE and Vince McMahon. The former WWE Champion recalled telling McMahon he was about to join AEW as he was tired of waiting for opportunities in WWE.
Upon hearing this, McMahon said that he's optimistic about Henry's future, and that WWE might come knocking on his door back in three years:
"I was like, 'Vince, I'm tired of waiting, I'm gonna take this job. I want to get experience, and I want to prove to you and everybody else that I can do this.' And he said, 'You know what, Mark, I believe you will, and I'm sure we'll come looking for you in three years.'"
