F4Wonline.com is reporting that Mark Henry may be turning face upon his return to WWE television. There has been some talk about turning the “World’s Stongest Man” face since his last return at the beginning of 2013. After losing a “Strap Match” against Sheamus at WWE Extreme Rules, Henry was shown during the post-show broadcast leaving the arena and stating that he was “going home.” This footage could mean Henry will be absent from WWE TV for a undetermined number of weeks, as he was not on the live Monday Night Raw broadcast the night following the PPV.
Henry has been getting very positive reactions from the fans as of late. His abilities on the microphone and his in-ring work have improved significantly, and he is getting over with the fans. WWE officials see this and think that a dominant character like Henry’s could do well as a face. If Henry is brought back as a face, a lot of people are speculating that he will enter into a program with Big E Langston. Time will tell if a face Henry will induct Langston into the Hall of Pain or not. Heel or face, you can bet that Henry will only keep on entertaining the masses upon his return. After all, it’s what he does!
