Following SummerSlam last night, a WWE Hall of Famer has been announced for tonight’s episode of Monday Night Raw. Mark Henry will be returning to WWE tonight to serve as the official for the arm-wrestling match between Apollo Crews and Bobby Lashley.
WWE announced the segment earlier today on Twitter. The announcement comes along with the news that Crews will defend the United States Championship against Bobby Lashley at WWE Payback. Here is the announcement and the official preview from WWE.com:
WWE Hall of Famer @TheMarkHenry will officiate an arm wrestling competition between @WWEApollo and @fightbobby TONIGHT on #WWERaw!

“After overcoming MVP at SummerSlam to retain the United States Championship, Apollo Crews must now test his strength against “The All Mighty” Bobby Lashley — with a WWE Hall of Famer presiding, as “The World’s Strongest Man” Mark Henry will officiate an Arm Wrestling Competition between Crews and Lashley tonight on Raw.
Crews is already more than familiar with Lashley’s brute power after being put on the shelf earlier this summer by Lashley’s devastating Full Nelson.
Henry figures to help keep order with the rest of The Hurt Business likely not far behind, but can Crews withstand Lashley’s indomitable strength?”
Henry is no stranger to arm-wrestling in WWE. In 2008, he was one of John Cena’s very first tests following Cena’s return from surgery. In that test, the two competed in an arm-wrestling match that ended in shenanigans as if normal for WWE.
