Mark Henry Clarifies Details of New WWE Deal Amid Legends Contract Confusion

Mark Henry’s return to WWE was already big news—but now, The World’s Strongest Man is setting the record straight about the details.

After Ringside Collectibles announced Henry had inked a “WWE Legends deal,” the Hall of Famer hopped on Twitter to clarify what he really signed.

“Ringside now you clearly heard me say and nostalgia deal!” Henry wrote in a quote tweet on March 23, 2025, calling out the popular wrestling merch company after their initial announcement went viral.

To be fair, the original hype wasn’t totally off. Henry’s return comes with a fresh lineup of Mattel WWE action figures, and he’ll be featured alongside other iconic names as part of WWE’s nostalgia-based initiatives. But don’t get it twisted—this isn’t your typical Legends contract, and Henry clearly wants fans to understand the distinction.

Henry left AEW in 2024 after a backstage and on-air run and has now reconnected with WWE, the company where he rose to superstardom. While fans are thrilled to see more Mark Henry merch on the shelves, it’s clear the man himself isn’t letting anyone mislabel his latest business move.

Now that the record’s been set straight, it’s only a matter of time before Henry pops back up for signings, special segments, or possibly dropping more real talk straight from the Hall of Pain playbook.
