In a momentous occasion, Anthony Henry, the 40-year-old wrestling sensation, has made a triumphant return to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and Ring of Honor (ROH) after a brief hiatus due to a broken jaw injury. Henry’s comeback took place during the recent AEW and ROH tapings at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon, on May 16, 2024.
The Workhorseman, as Henry is fondly known, reunited with his tag team partner JD Drake to take on the team of Angelico and Serpentico, emerging victorious in his in-ring return. This marks a significant milestone for Henry, who was released from AEW last month due to his injury. However, AEW President Tony Khan had assured fans that Henry would be brought back to the promotion once he had fully recovered.
Henry’s return to the squared circle is a testament to his resilience and dedication to the sport. The Georgia native has been an integral part of AEW since 2021, having competed against top names such as Penta El Zero Miedo, Sting, Darby Allin, and FTR. His comeback has sparked excitement among fans, who are eager to see him take on new challenges and pursue his goals in the promotion.
Prior to his return, Henry had shared a list of objectives he wished to achieve, including a one-on-one bout with former WWE Champion Bryan Danielson, winning the ROH and AEW World Tag Team Titles, having noteworthy matches, and enjoying himself along the way. While it remains to be seen whether Henry will get his desired match against Danielson, who is currently set to team with FTR and Darby Allin to take on The Elite in an Anarchy in the Arena match at Double or Nothing 2024, fans are eagerly anticipating Henry’s next move.
Henry’s return is a significant boost to the AEW and ROH rosters, and his presence is expected to add an extra layer of excitement to the promotions’ upcoming events. With his sights set on achieving his goals, Anthony Henry is poised to make a lasting impact in professional wrestling.
