Despite his size and strength, Mark Henry has been underwhelming in the Royal Rumble match. An annual target of the commentator's curse wondering how the big man will be eliminated. Henry achieved his best result in the 1998 Royal Rumble, by making it to the final five for the first time.

Mark Henry would last 19 minutes and 7 seconds and would eliminate Ahmed Johnson and Phineas I Godwinn before he was taken out by Nation of Domination co-faction member, Faarooq. Henry had joined the stable only a few weeks before the Royal Rumble event, turning on his former tag team partner, Ken Shamrock, in a tag team match against D'Lo Brown and the Rock.

In the month following the event, Henry and D'Lo Brown would back the Rock in overthrowing Faarooq as the leader of the stable.
