The current AEW World Trios Champion, Powerhouse Hobbs subtly acknowledged the WWE veteran, Mark Henry. In the main event of Dynamite this week, Hobbs teamed up with Samoa Joe and Katsuyori Shibata as they defended their World Trios titles against the team of Hangman Page, Eddie Kingston, and HOOK.

During the trios encounter, Powerhouse Hobbs slammed Hangman through a table from the stage. Hobbs' move was similar to Henry's iconic finisher, 'World's Strongest Slam.' Reacting to the slam on X, Hobbs also wrote the following in his post:

After Hangman Page was taken out of the equation, Powerhouse Hobbs made HOOK tap out with a torture rack in the ring to help The Opps retain their World trios titles at the end of the show.


WWE legend Mark Henry recently claimed AEW disrespected him

Speaking on the Busted Open Radio recently, Henry stated the following:

"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** about 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."

Following his departure from All Elite Wrestling last year, Henry has been seen on major promotions such as WWE and TNA. Only time will tell what the future has in store for the 54-year-old legend.
