The most recent WWE Superstar to make the jump over from WWE to AEW is former World Champion Mark Henry.

The WWE Hall of Famer appeared at Double or Nothing last month but unlike fellow WWE legend The Big Show, Mark Henry was able to make the switch under the same name.

Similarly to several other names on the list, Mark Henry was signed to WWE off the back of an Olympic career where he was already known under his given name.

When Henry was signed by WWE in the mid-1990s he was signed to a 10-year deal which was unheard of at the time. The star had since remained with the company for more than two decades before making a surprising jump to All Elite Wrestling.

Henry retired from the company back in 2018 when he was added to the Hall of Fame. He had since been working as a backstage producer in WWE and had helped bring in several stars including Braun Strowman and Bianca Belair.
