Mark Henry Believes Feud Has Helped Both Roman Reigns And Bobby Lashley

Mark Henry recently gave his take on the current feud booked by the WWE that involves Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley.

The Hall of Famer discussed this feud and the way that WWE has handled it on the Busted Open Radio podcast. As seen on this week’s episode of WWE Monday Night RAW in Boston, MA at the TD Garden on the USA Network, the latest angle that helped build the feud saw both men being involved in a pull-apart brawl with other stars.

According to Henry, this brawl helped both Reigns and Lashley. The former World Champion believes that making Lashley a tough and aggressive character will get support from fans rather than the smiley character he had during his feud with Sami Zayn.

“The fans are getting a chance to see two big physically impressive tough guys go at it,” said Henry. “That’s how I feel about Bobby Lashley and Roman Reigns. I feel like, ‘oh sh*t, let’s go! Put ’em in there, let ’em go!’ Like they are ready to do something that hasn’t been done in a long while. And that thing is to take over the show without bells and whistles.”

Henry did bring up the fact that he was a fan of the brawl because it felt like a schoolyard fight as stars stopped what they were doing to run to the fight to step in and break it up. He also praised the WWE for not adding a stipulation to the match.

“A lot of times you’re like, oh, it’s a cage match, it’s a falls count anywhere. It’s pot pans and chairs and ladders. It’s nothing [in this feud],” said Henry. “They don’t need anything. It’s two big strong physically impressive guys that need to get in there and punch each other in the face. Everybody is ready to see it.”

Reigns vs. Lashley in a singles match is slated to go down at this Sunday’s WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view event in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at the PPG Paints Arena on the WWE Network.
