WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry hasn't left his in-ring career just yet, and he has already revealed his dream opponent for his farewell match. Mark Henry mentioned that his dream opponent for his return would be Cody Rhodes. He also named Jacob Fatu as a worthy opponent to take Rhodes to his limit. The World's Strongest Man's last appearance in the ring was at Greatest Royal Rumble, rumors are there that he is looking for a permanent comeback to the ring.

Mark Henry named Cody Rhodes as his potential opponent

Mark Henry made his appearance at the “For The Love of Wrestling” segment, where he discussed a dream opponent for his potential return to WWE. He named Rhodes as his dream opponent, expressing appreciation for his wrestling skills. He also mentioned Jacob Fatu, stating that he was the one who could push Rhodes to his limits. It's noteworthy that Henry made these comments before Rhodes' intense face-off with Cena at Elimination Chamber. The World’s Strongest Man’s last in-ring performance was in Greatest Royal Rumble, and his last encounter with Rhodes was in a 2016 WWE live event when he used to be known as Stardust.
"Probably Cody Rhodes, I don't think that nobody is putting him in jeopardy. I want people to fear for his life. When I went in the ring, I wasn't trying to kill nobody, but I was definitely trying to draw blood. I don't think nobody is doing that. Jacob Fatu, I'd pay money to see Jacob whoop him. That Jacob Fatu is special. Man, that dude is good," said Henry.
