Mark Henry recently shared his thoughts on the differences between WWE and AEW backstage. The WWE Hall of Famer exited AEW when his contract expired in May and he spoke on Busted Open Radio about the differences between the two, notably how WWE has had the time to work things out so that they run more smoothly.
“The WWE has an advantage because they have experience and time on their side,” Henry noted (per Wrestling Inc). “AEW’s a young company, and it needs to have the screws tightened still. And some decisions have to be made: who’s gonna run the show? And how soon can you get to work?”
He continued, “Because a lot of times things are left hanging in the balance too long. And stuff ends up not getting done. And then there’s the afterthought: ‘Oh s**t, we gotta go do this. We start in 20 minutes.’ It’s too late by then.”
Henry’s son Jacob has signed a deal with WWE, and the two appeared on last week’s episode of Raw in the audience.
