WWE legend Mark Henry lashed out at AEW during his recent appearance on a podcast. The veteran has seemingly taken exception to the Tony Khan-led promotion renaming his signature finishing move, which an up-and-coming talent occasionally uses. The Worlds Strongest Men crossed over from WWE to All Elite Wrestling in 2021, following on the heels of his two-decade-plus long tenure in the sports entertainment juggernaut. He worked in the Jacksonville-based company as both an on-screen and backstage figure, serving in various capacities, including as a commentator, analyst, talent scout and coach. His run in AEW came to an end last year, after he opted to not renew his contract with the promotion. Henry has influenced and instructed several All Elite Wrestling talent, including Powerhouse Hobbs, who periodically uses a variant of the veteran's finisher, the World's Strongest Slam. However, AEW has seemingly altered the name of the move to the Most Dangerous Slam - a fact that Henry blasted the company over on the latest edition of the Busted Open podcast. "They called it the Most Dangerous Slam... They don't call it the World's Strongest Slam. They're like, 'F*** Mark Henry.' F*** you, how about that? That's to whose decision that is [to rename the slam]. You cannot disrespect me and expect me to kiss your a** babout it. I'm not gonna do it. I'd rather be fired or kicked off the air before I let somebody feel like they all got power over me," said Henry. [H/T - Wrestling Inc]Henry is currently signed with WWE under a Legends deal. Powerhouse Hobbs was involved in a major AEW title match last weekThe October 22 edition of Wednesday Night Dynamite opened with a title bout, with the AEW World Trios Championships on the line. The defending champions Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata and Powerhouse Hobbs battled Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin and MVP of The Hurt Syndicate. Both dominant teams fought for the belts tooth and nail, though ultimately it was Joe who sealed the victory for The Opps by forcing MVP to submit to his Coquina Clutch, courtesy of outside interference from Ricochet.
