As announced during last night’s AEW Double or Nothing PPV, Mark Henry is the latest name to become #AllElite.

With Tony Schiavone in the ring, it was revealed that the WWE Hall of Famer and former WWE World Heavyweight Champion will be a special guest analyst for the upcoming AEW Rampage show that will debut on 13 August.

AEW Rampage will be a one-hour weekly show that will air each and every Friday at 10pm EST. Like AEW Dynamite, Rampage will initially air on TNT before moving to TBS in 2021.

A big-name guest host had been teased for AEW Rampage, and now we know that the World’s Strongest Man has followed in the footsteps of Paul Wight – the man who inducted him into the WWE Hall of Fame – in signing with All Elite Wrestling. Wight, of course, can be found calling the action on AEW Dark: Elevation on Monday nights.

Whether Mark Henry or Paul Wight compete in an AEW ring at any point remains to be seen, although both men have regularly talked up how they feel they have at least one more match in the tank still.
