Mark Henry is one of the most celebrated professional wrestlers of all time and a deserved WWE Hall of Fame (Class of 2018) inductee. Even if he never has a match again, he will go down as one of the all-time greats.
That said, his in-ring future may not be done yet. Even though he's been hired as an analyst for Rampage, the upcoming AEW show, Mark Henry could show the AEW roster, young and old, a thing or two about competing in the ring.
Of course, the moment a topic like this comes up, fans come up with their own list of fantasy matches. So if you wish to mention your own dream opponents for Mark Henry in the comments, go right ahead, reader!
This may be a fresh new start for Mark Henry, away from the system that he's used to, where he can become a valuable player once again.
#5 Jon Moxley vs. Mark Henry
Even though we've seen Mark Henry vs. Dean Ambrose before, Jon Moxley is a different animal. He truly is unhinged, the version of the lunatic fringe we always wanted but never got in WWE. The PG version pales in comparison to the current grizzled veteran that he is in AEW.
AEW fans may be used to aerial acrobatics and high-flying moves, but this is not a brawl that will leave the ground. These two men will ensure that fists go flying and maybe a few teeth too! Of course, for two babyfaces to clash in this manner may be strange, but then again, Moxley's character is one where he just seems like a guy who likes to pick fights.
It may not be the worst idea to have Mark Henry go over in this instance! Jon Moxley is an internationally renowned superstar and can afford a loss in AEW.
#4 Mark Henry vs. MJF
Mark Henry is an instantly likable guy, with a natural charm and charisma. He has been a great ambassador for WWE, and his legacy is truly unmatched.
MJF is the polar opposite, being someone who can take several shots at the man because he has the gift of the gab. Mark Henry has been instrumental in making new stars like Braun Strowman by putting them over in the sunset of their career, and he can do the same with MJF as well.
Stylistically, MJF, the heel, should go into this bout as the underdog. But at the same time, MJF will likely bend the rules to give himself the advantage.
#3 Mark Henry vs. Andrade El Idolo
Listen, you can't just have your manager shoo Mark Henry away from the ring and not expect repercussions. Mark Henry vs. Andrade is certainly a dream match waiting to happen, and we should expect it sooner rather than later!
Both men are seasoned performers, and while there may be a style mismatch, they can definitely make it work. Much like MJF, Mark Henry could turn Andrade El Idolo into a true megastar.
#2 Mark Henry and Paul Wight vs. The Young Bucks
Mark Henry and Paul Wight could obviously take each other on, but it may make more sense from a storyline perspective to pair them up. Judging from their social media behavior, nobody would believe that they are at odds.
Imagine a tag team championship match against The Young Bucks, which is the perfect old school vs. new school contest. How great will that be?!
The clash of two contrasting in-ring styles between both teams would certainly intrigue a lot of fans.
#1 Mark Henry vs. Sting
Long before Sting arrived in AEW, we had a chance to speak to Darby Allin. You can check it out in the link that's been shared above.
Now, let's talk about why Sting is the perfect opponent for someone like Mark Henry. Both are men who've done it all, but they have never had a chance to face off against each other. They belong to two different worlds. While Sting was tearing it up in WCW and TNA, Mark Henry has been one of the most loyal Vince McMahon employees throughout the duration of his career.
For these two forces of nature to collide would be absolutely titanic!
