Henry returned on an episode of RAW which would kickstart a rivalry with the then WWE Champion Cena.
He made quite an emotional speech speaking about his retirement. However, as Cena reached out to Henry, he was stunned with a World’s Strongest Slam.
His monster heel persona earned a lot of appreciation from the fans.
Henry went on to challenge Cena at Money in the Bank. However, he would go on to lose the match after submitting to Cena.
During the interview, Henry was asked if WWE should have let him beat Cena for the Championship. Henry had a rather humble response to the question.
“That wasn’t Cena’s fault, that wasn’t WWE’s fault. If anybody should be mad, it should be me, because I’m the one who said, look, man, I want to go home. I love to stay here and play with the boys and get out there and make some more money and all that stuff, but the most important thing to me was going home and doing what I’m doing. This is God’s work as well as what’s expected out of a man”, Mark Henry said.

John Cena is a 16 time World Champion; perhaps, giving Henry a reign with the WWE Championship would have compensated the legend for his remarkable career.
With a moment worth remembering for a lifetime, Henry did deserve the title.
