Mark Henry To Join WWE's New Nation Of Domination Group?

Are Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Big E going to work with Mark Henry?

There was a promo following a match on last night's Raw that will apparently be leading to a new stable in WWE. Following a loss by Kofi Kingston and Big E to the team of Curtis Axel and Ryback, the seldom used Xavier Woods appeared in the ring wearing glasses and a white suit. Woods did a promo where he spoke to Kingston and Big E about how you cannot get ahead by shaking hands, kissing babies or singing and dancing like a puppet. He added that you can't move ahead by always doing what you are told. Woods told them it was their time and their place. It's up to them to find a purpose together. He ended it by saying this: "We do not ask any longer. Now, we take." Kingston and Big E didn't say a word, but they nodded their head in agreement. The rumor is that they will be forming a stable together. Partly fueled by speculation several weeks ago that this was on the cards, some fans seems to think it will be like the Nation of Domination group of the mid to late 1990s, although there's no confirmation that they will use that name or what their name might be. A group of black wrestlers is going to be compared to the Nation of Domination although when that group started they weren't all black wrestlers. During the Wrestling Observer Radio (available at F4WOnline.com) show after Raw, it was mentioned by Dave Meltzer & Bryan Alvarez that Mark Henry is expected back in WWE soon most likely as part of this stable. Henry's been dealing with injuries, but is ready to come back. They also mentioned that R-Truth may be added although they seemed less convinced about it. It would be a smart move to add Henry to it. At this point in his career he's a 43 year old role player that isn't going to get a main event push again. He still has credibility and would be a strong mentor for the others. Woods is probably the best talker of the group. He just needs a chance to show it. The group should be seen as a positive because they're all talented wrestlers that need something to get to that next level. It seems like they would be heels just by the tone of the promo and it fits since they're all faces now. Kingston has been a midcard babyface for over five years. Big E had momentum as IC Champ, but then he lost it. Woods didn't do much after his debut even though he clearly has a lot of charisma and talent. Henry would serve as the right kind of mentor for them. Plus, he was even in the Nation of Domination at one point too. Since WWE has had some recent success with stables like The Shield and Wyatt Family, this could be a turning point in the careers of these guys while also strengthening WWE's midcard. You can watch Woods' promo at the 2:36 mark of the video below: http://youtu.be/xfs5_XbQvZo We will have updates in the coming weeks on who else might join the group, what they might be named and what plans WWE has in store for them.
