Mark Henry Done With AEW

The stripe on the Nation of Domination figure is reversed from what it’s supposed to be because it’s based on Henry’s promotional picture which is mirrored for some reason. If you watch actual video footage of him, the stripe goes the same way as all the others. But because that promo pic is reversed, the NOD figure’s hat doesn’t match any of the other Nation figures’ hats.

So we have Mark Henry and Arn Anderson confirmed to being done with AEW. Matt Hardy seems to have moved to TNA, which looks to be starting a working relationship with WWE - and Hardy may not be exclusive to TNA. His brother Jeff is not really being used, and I would expect he would go back to WWE if they will have him. Big Show Paul Wight is not doing anything with AEW. Sting's contract is done, and Ric Flair also seems to be persona non grata with AEW. MIro is apparently gone back to Bulgaria, Keith Lee is rarely on TV anymore either.

Not to mention that Cody Rhodes jumped a few years back, as the first big name to move back to WWE. Jade Cargill has made a splash now with WWE. CM Punk of course made a splash despite his injury. Since then we have seen Andrade come back, Shawn Spears appear back on NXT, and last night another surprise debut.

My point is that CLEARLY WWE has reversed the trend of wrestlers defecting to AEW and are now where people want to go after leaving AEW.

There are very few WWE wrestlers who went to AEW that are going to be AEW 'lifers'. Jon Moxley, Chris Jericho, and Daniel Bryan may be the only ones that are tied up in long term contracts that may not come back, at least as long as AEW exists. It will be VERY interesting to see what things look like in 2 or 3 years time.

I'd buy a Sexual Chocolate version if it had a NEW headscan but it's very low on my wishlist.
