"Wasn't special no more" – Mark Henry on WWE changing high-profile WrestleMania Backlash match
WWE legend Mark Henry was disappointed that the company changed the title unification match between RK-Bro and The Usos. Henry was excited to see Roman Reigns face off against Drew McIntyre.
Ahead of WrestleMania Backlash, it got confirmed that the tag team titleholders, RK-Bro and The Usos, would face off at the show, with the titles being unified. Later, the match was changed as Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre were added, making it a six-man tag team bout.
On the Busted Open before WrestleMania Backlash, Hall of Famer Mark Henry stated that WWE altering the match no longer made it special:
"It trivialized it [changing plans]. It made it like anything else. It wasn't special no more. I'm all about the build-up to a match being special. You remember just a few years ago, Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre right before the COVID pandemic, it was hot and heavy. I was super excited about that match. I thought I was going to get that again, but..." (from 11:50 to 12:35)
