Mark Henry's bold prediction about WWE stars: "I could see them both meeting at WrestleMania one day in a main event capacity"

Former World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry has made a bold prediction regarding the careers of two major WWE superstars. He claimed that the talent concerned have the potential to face off in the main event of WrestleMania.

Henry, who has a reputation for scouting some of the best performers in wrestling, recently spoke with Premier Live TV and voiced his pleasure with the successes enjoyed by two wrestlers whose careers he helped establish through his mentorship. The talent concerned are former WWE Women's Champion Bianca Belair and former AEW TBS Champion Jade Cargill.

Henry spoke about how correct he was in his appraisal of Belair and Cargill, and shared how proud he was of both of them. Henry explained the importance of personal dynamics and humor when evaluating talent, as wrestlers need to be interactive and uninhibited to engage with the audience.

"I didn't miss with either one of them. I've very proud," Henry said. "I know what it looks like for success to happen. I've been surrounded by it my whole life, and if you can't recognize what's staring you in the face, that you look and you go 'Who is that?'.. You start asking questions like 'What do they do?'.. You hear them talk and they make people laugh and they interact with everybody because you need people that are glib and colourful, that have an understanding that you can't be shy. You can't be in your own skin, like afraid of being yourself."

Henry proceeded to praise Cargill and Belair for their fearlessness and affirmed that a WrestleMania match on a main-event level between the two is a very likely prospect.

Considering that both the EST and Cargill are signed with WWE, and the latter has named Belair as one of the opponents she wishes to face there, a showdown between the two seems to be imminent - a very exciting thought to wrestling fans worldwide.

WWE veteran claims Swerve Strickland was AEW's breakout star in 2023

WWE veteran Mark Henry showered praise on top AEW star Swerve Strickland, calling him the breakout star for the company in 2023.

In his interview with Premier Live TV, Henry applauded Strickland for his development as a character and performer, praising the former WWE NXT North American Champion for his transformation into a talent who looks like a main event star and who is willing to undergo significant pain for the sake of the match and the story.

"He is definitely the breakout wrestler of ‘23. But you gotta look at this too, is he the same guy that he was at WWE? At NXT? He’s not the same guy. He grew up. He’s 20 pounds heavier. He looks more the part. Also, he didn’t do a lot of the hardcore and tough character building, the face that you do, ‘Hey, man, be careful. That dude ain’t right. He’s willing to put himself through pain in order for you to have pain.’ He wasn’t that guy. So he’s the same man, but just elevated," Henry said. [H/T Fightful]

Strickland was last seen on the latest episode of Dynamite, where he defeated Daniel Garcia in singles competition. After the match, he was attacked by the returning 'Hangman' Adam Page, whom he choked out in a brutal Texas Death Match at Full Gear 2023.
