Henry on if there was any animosity between him and WWE when he left for AEW: “Not at all. I had a conversation with Vince [McMahon] and I wanted WWE to hire me, and he said that we have people that have applied for the jobs that you are applying for, and he felt like it would show favoritism to give me one of those jobs. And I hadn’t put the work in to receive one of those jobs, so I had to leave to get that experience. And I told him, I was like, ‘You know, I’m going to kick your ass.’ And he was like, ‘I have no doubt whatsoever, and I know how hard you work.’ And he said, ‘When the day comes, I’m sure that we’ll be the first ones trying to get you back.'”
