#4. Mark Henry on plans to have one more match, possible showdown with a current champion in WWE

Mark Henry first confirmed his plans to come out of retirement at the end of February, and the WWE Hall of Famer reiterated his desire during a recent interview with BT Sports.

Mark Henry talked about WALTER, and he praised the reigning WWE NXT UK Champion. Henry believed that WALTER could become a world champion in WWE within the next three years.

"I feel like WALTER is the cream of the crop. I think WALTER should be a world champion in the next two or three years. It’s all up to him. If he stays healthy and he wants to get better, you will see WALTER as a world champion."

Henry revealed his interest in facing WALTER, and the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion stated that he wants to have one more match before hanging up his wrestling boots for good.

"I want to have one more match before I completely say I’m never going to wrestle again. And WALTER is one of those guys that… he may need to be put in the Hall of Pain to make it, to be tempered by the fire that can make you a champion."
"I’m saying I think that would be a good fantasy warfare match. If it happened, it would be because WALTER called me out. Because he’s an active, current talent. It’s not up to me… I still have my wrestling boots!" H/t James Sullivan of Sportskeeda Wrestling

Mark Henry wants to emulate his friend Paul Wight's achievement of wrestling in four different decades. Henry feels lighter than ever and is ready to end his retirement. Henry had previously also teased a match against Randy Orton as they have some unfinished business.
