10 Future Roles For Current WWE Stars

8. Mark Henry (Road Agent)

Having been around the WWE system since 1996, there are few who know the company like Mark Henry. The big man may never have been the biggest draw, but he has fulfilled a variety of roles on screen during his tenure. From opening match rookie and mid card also-ran, to main event heel and aging veteran, there isn't much the 'World's Strongest Man' hasn't done. That experience is crucial, because such a lengthy tenure is rare in today's industry. Mark Henry is a true WWE lifer, it's very likely he knows the promotion inside and out. Utilising that knowledge is paramount once he decides to hang up his tights. The former World Champion has been talking about retirement more than ever, so now could be the time to transition him into a backstage role. Working as a road agent, Mark Henry could be a perfect liaison between talent and management. Vince McMahon greatly respects the man, so he has a voice that could be useful for fledgling workers who don't have a similar amount of clout. In addition, Henry could work effectively with those coming into WWE from non-wrestling backgrounds.
