10 WWE Things That Must Happen In The Second Half Of 2015
8. Mark Henry Must Retire
The vast majority of the main roster talent have debuted on WWE TV in the last several years, but there's still a handful of leftovers from the Attitude Era. Among the "dead weight" is Big Show and Kane, but despite how little purpose they serve in 2015, at least they're involved in relevant storylines and are regulars on Raw. Mark Henry, on the other hand, has largely been absent from programming for the better part of the last three years. Henry had one of the best runs of anyone in WWE in 2011 when he revitalized his career and inducted individuals into his "Hall of Pain," but injuries cut his time at the top short. He hasn't been the same since his brief program with John Cena in 2013 with various injuries keeping him sidelined from in-ring action more often than not. The World's Strongest Man made his return to WWE TV shortly before WrestleMania 31 after a multi-month absence, but has been seldom seen as of late and when he does appear on the flagship show, it's usually in an enhancement role. He's openly discussed the looming possibility of retirement in past interviews and it appears 2015 will finally be the year that he hangs up his boots for good.
