4. Was This Necessary?

"It's time for the main event".

Listen, Mark Henry will forever be in this fan's good graces for that John Cena swerve years ago. It was wonderful, and his runs as both ECW and World Heavyweight Champ can get in on that party too. However, he's been reduced to uttering one or two lines on Rampage every week.

TK has done away with Mark's longstanding pre-main event split screen promos in favour of a video package then his 'go home' hype. It's all rather pointless, and only serves to highlight just how little purpose the former WWE star has on this roster.

Henry appearing for 10 seconds every week is a token gesture more than anything. AEW should scrap this or find the guy something more impactful to do. Hell, actually have him conduct interviews face-to-face in-ring rather than making Tony Schiavone walk up and down the ramp.
