Mark Henry has hit out at fans who have criticized AEW for signing WWE talent. The WWE Hall of Famer believes that AEW is not broken, and he openly argued that the promotion is already successful.

While speaking on Busted Open Radio, Mark Henry discussed the way some fans criticize AEW for signing WWE stars. He stated that the reason AEW has signed legends like himself, Paul Wight and Christian is because AEW is a new company.

"So you haters out there, think about that little message today," said Henry. "You know what? AEW is not broken. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. They’re successful already. What our job is now, and I say our because now I work for them, is to fine tune."
" All you musicians out there, you know when your guitar is off," Henry continued. "You know when the keys in the piano are a little bit lax, and you have to get everything tightened and tuned. That’s what AEW needs. They’re successful already. They have winners, Kenny Omega, The Bucks, Cody, Sammy Guevara." (H/T WrestlingNews)

Mark Henry also spoke about how AEW will try to bring in an older audience to watch its shows because the programs are predominantly viewed by young people.
