Mark Henry was playing stupid for the AEW audience. EVERYONE knows the commentators say what they are instructed to say. Those were Vince's words and Corey was the mouthpiece. Vince was angry and thought the behavior was unprofessional and wanted to make sure it was said on air. It's crazy that Mark would sit there and say that like he doesn't know Corey can't just go off script and give his own opinion. That was 100% Vince and that was 100% the thoughts of WWE.

I really don't care but Graves does have the option of pretending to have balls and not just be a mouthpiece for an evil corporation...

I think Sasha and Naomi walking out the night of raw actually helped WWE. Think about If they waited until after Naomi won the #1 contendership to face Bianca but then left. It would have been even worse trying to fix the situation for Bianca to have an opponent. Also they need to just retire the womens tag team division.

[@jonno9238]

It's interesting.. Because on the one hand you have Vince yelling in your ear to say this thing that you should know is out of pocket, potentially angering some of your coworkers. On the other is your desire to keep drawing a paycheck. The announcement team makes choices every show how to word things and what to actually say. Having watched many years of wrestling (and listening to commentary) I know for a fact they aren't 100% scripted, even in this day and age. Still, it is the company's statement. So if Mark went down to the table, it would be a wasted trip.. Vince's desk would be where he should have been headed in his hypothetical situation. I agree with Mark's anger. WWE took the low road with this situation and actually lost an opportunity to spin it into an angle. But Vince will be Vince. Side note: I do find it odd how many folks in the comments are trashing Mark about having lost touch with "the business" because he is in AEW. Acting like because he found a boss he feels won't disrespect him and his, somehow he is no longer in touch with reality is kinda strange. I wonder how many of you just eat any kind of insult from your boss regardless of your talent and work ethic? How many have never quit a job because of bad management?

How does him having a nicer boss dispute him still being I'm touch??? Also don't make a leaving job comparison, that's is just as low as what they are doing.

LOL Mark became a Mark so fast...Corey was repeat VER BATIM what Vince told him to say, and Jimmy has had enough heat backstage why in the world would he bring all that down on him and Jay lol..

[@CEOGaming82]

You sound like the mark to me believing whatever wwe tells you to believe

[@goal_getter]

@@CEOGaming82 the fact you would even comment that says a bunch about you 😂. I didn't say I believed WWEs side. I've heard the details from the likes of Cornette and Bill Bhatti I believe they were right for not wanting bad creative. But to think that Corey Graves was saying that himself and not saying that because Vince told him to, You're the Mark lol.

@@goal_getter Its obvious he was reading a line. The point is don't say it.

[@yafolksnemjo4267]

THAT'S why they should've been made Naomi a part of the bloodline, imo. I thought when Tamina popped back up that surely that was going to happen, along with Nia Jax. They could've literally had ALL the gold frfr

[@toddcribbs12]

No you're right Booker T it was Corey Graves was supposed to say something way worse then what he said

[@Juniorkeavwm00]

Booker just love talking about Aew they must be doing something right 😂😂😂

[@johnytwotimes4072]

There was a lot more said on Busted Open and LaGreca (the host) mentioned that Vince told him to say that. Mark constantly takes WWEs side on a lot of issues. He was mainly mad about them being called unprofessional and I understand where he is coming from but I also understand WWE being upset with their employees for not doing what they pay them to do but I don't get why people seem to have no empathy and in a lot of cases plain hatred of Sasha Banks. She's not my favorite female wrestler but she's one of them because she can definitely work and she actually has a character.

[@AceGoodheart]

I disagree with what they did but I don't hate them in the least. I definitely understand their frustrations. I'd be upset too if I won the tag team belts and creative did nothing with it. That would suck. But, you don't just walk out on a company unless you plan on not coming back.

[@chriskay1449]

She has now walked out 3 separate times when she did not get her way, That is why they have no empathy or have straight hate. SHe has shown she is a selfish brat who takes her toys and goes home when she doesn't get her way. BEing able to work or have a character doesn't give her a free pass for walking out 3 times because she didn't get her way.

[@joesmoe8841]

I think because for people in the know, she’s has been crappy towards fans, people inside wrestling has said she’s a crappy person, and some of her interviews she come off as in her own world. Others wrestlers have had stories about her and people like Meltzer/Keller have told stories about Sasha. I don’t think it’s just all of sudden. I think some people are just tired of her. Plus she complaining about bad booking when the 98% of the wrestlers have bad booking. I see more indifference then hate to be honest or there’s fans defending her. If she leaves good for her, will it change anything or start another wrestling boom? No.

@@joesmoe8841 She has also now walked out 3 times when she didn't get her way. Charlotte may have had issues with NIa and Becky in the ring, but at least she showed up to do what she was scheduled to do.
