5. Mark Henry Is Being Pushed As Dominant As Ever
When Mark Henry returned to Raw on February 4th after a nine-month absence, it was a relief to see him return to the dominant manner in which he had left the company. Rather than return the 41-year old to a comedy performer, it is reassuring that the WWE had the sense to keep him as an absolute monster, because it just suits him. From the moment he returned to broadcast television, he has been dishing out the punishment to every superstar in his way, most notably Rey Mysterio, The Great Khali and Randy Orton. None of those superstars even came close to making Henry look weakened, and he charged his way deservedly into the Elimination Chamber Match. In said match, Henry was last to enter the ring, and when he finally emerged from his pod, he encountered five superstars that were battle-worn and ripe for the crushing. The World's Strongest Man wasted little time in asserting his dominance on the match, headbutting and clotheslining any superstar that dared stand in the same ring as him. After quickly dispatching of Daniel Bryan, Henry turned his attention to Orton, by flinging his body through the glass of the Chamber. When he re-entered the squared circle, Kane was awaiting him, and it wasn't long until the World's Strongest Slam connected and Henry had eliminated both members of the WWE Tag Team Champions. It took the unified forces of Chris Jericho and Jack Swagger to distract Henry long enough to allow Orton to slither back into the ring and eliminate Henry with the RKO. But that wasn't the last we saw of the rampant Silverback, who after vacating Chamber decided to return and inflict some more damage on his besters, by hitting the World's Strongest Slam to Orton, Swagger and Jericho, before an army of referees, Booker T and Teddy Long were able to encourage him to leave the Chamber permanently. Though he did not manage the victory, there is no doubt that Mark Henry certainly made his impact on the match and was arguably the MVP in that Chamber. But, the question is where will he fit on this Road to Wrestlemania? His path is still unclear, but there is no doubting that the card would be incomplete without Henry. Another match with Orton or perhaps they could build upon the difficulties he is having with Smackdown General Manager Booker T? Just get Henry on the card.
