Mark Henry expressed his disappointment after watching his favored team fall short in the AFC Championship. On January 25, 2026, the WWE Hall of Famer took to social media following the Denver Broncos’ narrow 10-7 loss to the New England Patriots in snowy conditions. Henry, who supported Denver due to personal ties—particularly the presence of several Texas Longhorns on the roster—was visibly let down by the result.
In a Twitter video, Henry conveyed his feelings with some humor despite the bitter cold and tough defeat. He began, “What’s up, guys? Mark Henry, the strongest man in the world, here. I just finished watching the Broncos and Patriots game… if you want to call it that. I have many friends who root for the Patriots, but I went with the Broncos because of the Longhorns, and that didn’t quite pan out for me.”
Despite the setback, Henry didn’t let the loss spoil his day completely. He mentioned that he had an enjoyable time playing Fortnite and hinted at an upcoming WWE 2K event. “Thanks to my success, I had a great day playing Fortnite. I’ll be sharing a video soon. I’m excited for the WWE 2K event at WWE headquarters on February 18th. And everyone, stay cold—it’s overrated,” he added.
Though visibly disappointed, Henry kept a positive attitude after Denver’s playoff exit. It’s easy to empathize with his frustration as a proud supporter of his fellow Longhorns. At least he has his sights set on gaming and WWE events to lift his spirits.
