WWE Hall of Famer, Mark Henry recently appeared on Booker T’s Hall of Fame podcast, and Henry discussed the so-called war between AEW and WWE.

Henry boldly claimed that the war doesn’t exist:

"There is no war. You know what the war is? The war is the ratings in your segment. Do people turn the channel to another channel when you’re on? When Sexual Chocolate was on, they didn’t turn the channel. When the World’s Strongest Man and the Hall of Pain was on, they didn’t turn the channel. You could put me up there with some of the best. When Booker T was King Booker, they didn’t turn the channel. So that’s where the war is. The war is in the segments and the individuals."

Additionally, Henry stated that neither promotion should ever want to be on the exact same night:

"If I’m the WWE, I don’t want to be on the same night as AEW because I want all the attention. If I’m AEW, I’m not gonna move my show to a day that WWE is on, unless I’m pre-empted. That’s the whole point of AEW going to Tuesday, is because we had to. It wasn’t like, ‘Oh, we’re gonna go there and piss in their cornflakes.’ That isn’t what we did. I’m telling you, it’s not a war. A lot of the reason that things happen is because of programming notes and with the network. That’s the only way that you should be in a conversation about going on the same channel. Everybody should have a…you got seven days a week.”

H/T – Fightful.
