Chris Jericho is credited with putting All Elite Wrestling on the map in 2019 when he joined the promotion. However, the former and first AEW World Champion has been absent from programming since April of this year. During his hiatus, Y2J has been heavily linked with a return to WWE, a rumor that Jericho has fueled through social media activity on multiple occasions. A few days ago, Le Champion celebrated his 55th birthday and marked the occasion by posting a picture of himself looking in great shape on his socials. The image received a response from former AEW talent and WWE legend Mark Henry.

Henry, who joined Tony Khan's promotion in 2021, worked in various roles over three years, including commentator, analyst, and coach. However, he chose not to renew his contract with the company last year. The WWE veteran responded to Jericho's X post with an encouraging message.

"My brother! That’s the best light in the house!," wrote Henry

Mark Henry recently stated that he felt disrespected by AEW.

During a recent episode of Busted Open Radio, Mark Henry commented on how the Jacksonville-based promotion seemingly disrespected him with a major decision they made. For those unfamiliar, AEW's Powerhouse Hobbs uses a variation of Henry's finisher, the World's Strongest Slam. However, All Elite Wrestling changed the name of Hobbs' move to Most Dangerous Slam, a decision that upset the WWE veteran.

"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," Henry said. [H/T - Wrestling Inc.]

Henry is currently working with WWE and has a legends contract with the promotion.
