Mark Henry is rooting for 35-year-old WWE star at Saturday Night's Main Event, explains why
WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry had something to say about a certain athlete in World Wrestling Entertainment. According to the World's Strongest Man, she has a make-or-break predicament ahead of her.
At Saturday Night's Main Event, Michin will square off with Chelsea Green. The winner will be awarded the Women's United States Championship. Both superstars have not won a singles title on the main roster, and they equally deserve to succeed in this particular situation. However, only one of them can. When asked who should walk out of tonight's show with the belt, Henry put Michin over Green.
Speaking on the Busted Open podcast, Henry noted that unlike Chelsea Green, who could easily recover from a loss, it was the 35-year-old who needed the win here. The former O.C. member had the potential to become a World Title contender eventually, if WWE played their cards right, believes the legend.
"I'm going with Michin because if she wins, Chelsea Green can take a loss and it's all good. She could still wrestle anybody. But Michin can be championship material if she wins this one," Henry said. [From 26:35 to 26:54]
You can check out his comments in the podcast below:
Michin has been raking up wins of late and has never looked better. Post-summer, she briefly feuded with Women's Champion Nia Jax but failed to win the title. Later, she picked up the feud-ending victory over Green in a Dumpster Match.
Mark Henry predicts the rest of WWE Saturday Night's Main Event
In the five-match card tonight, the headliner is Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens. Mark Henry does not believe The Prizefighter has a shot here, albeit there is some noteworthy buzz surrounding the possibility of a title switch. The World's Strongest Man feels the same way about World Heavyweight Champion Gunther and Women's World Champion Liv Morgan.
Mark Henry predicted that The Ring General would retain over Damian Priest and Finn Bálor in the Triple Threat Match, while Morgan would not lose her belt to IYO SKY. As for the grudge match between Drew McIntyre and Sami Zayn, Henry claimed that McIntyre is a loose cannon right now so the Scot was definitely taking home the win.
