WWE Superstar Mark Henry's Son announces His WWE Signing

Jacob Henry, the son of WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry, has officially signed with WWE. This exciting announcement was made by Jacob himself during one of Mark Henry's DJ sets at the Remix Rumble event in Cleveland, Ohio. Addressing the enthusiastic crowd, Jacob said, "The crowd is out here tonight, you seem pretty lively. I think it's time, I think it's time for people to know. For those who don't know, I'll tell you what's going on in my life. I am a collegiate wrestler at the University of Oklahoma. But, some big news that will come out in the next couple of days [crowd starts chanting NXT]. I think you guys should be the first to know that I'm going to be a future superstar and it's been put on paper. I have officially signed a deal with the WWE."

Jacob Henry has had a dynamic athletic career, signing with the University of Oklahoma wrestling team earlier this year. In addition to wrestling, he has demonstrated his versatility and athletic prowess by playing football and participating in track and field events. His physical strength was notably highlighted last year when he impressively squatted 610 pounds, showing that he indeed takes after his legendary father.



Mark Henry had previously mentioned that his son had aspirations of joining the NFL, making Jacob's shift to WWE even more intriguing. Both father and son are currently in Cleveland, possibly gearing up for an official announcement at SummerSlam this weekend. This is a particularly interesting time for Mark Henry as well, as his contract with AEW recently expired. He has since been featured in an A&E documentary tied to a WWE deal, indicating a potential return to WWE activities.

The wrestling community eagerly awaits further developments, particularly whether Jacob Henry's official WWE signing will be spotlighted at the upcoming premium live event. This new chapter in the Henry family's legacy promises to be an exciting one, adding to the storied history of wrestling dynasties in WWE.

Mark Henry's Son Jacob Might Be As Strong As His Father After Insane Squat Rep

Jacob Henry, son of AEW’s Mark Henry, is making headlines for his impressive strength, potentially rivaling his father's title as the "World's Strongest Man." Recently, Jacob posted a video on social media showcasing his ability to squat 610 pounds, surpassing his previous personal records of 600 and 605 pounds. This feat, accomplished in the company of his cheering teammates, drew praise from AEW's Amanda Huber.

Currently a student at Lake Travis High School in Austin, Texas, Jacob is a multifaceted athlete, playing for the Cavaliers and participating in his high school choir. His Twitter bio highlights his achievements as a 2x 6A District Wrestling Heavyweight Champion and a 2x 6A Wrestling State Qualifier.

In December 2019, Mark Henry revealed that Jacob won his first amateur wrestling match in just one minute. Mark, known for his championship wins in weightlifting, powerlifting, and his two-time Olympic participation, provided an update on Jacob’s future aspirations. He shared that Jacob aims to play in the NFL for several years before possibly pursuing a career in professional wrestling. Mark emphasized that while comparisons are inevitable, he wants Jacob to establish his own identity in his athletic endeavors.
