BOSTON — In a colossal collision between two of WWE’s largest Superstars, Mark Henry returned to WWE with a vengeance and overcame Ryback in a smashmouth-style bout.

The contest featured power moves by both massive Superstars, who looked to annihilate each other. Although Ryback held his own at the start, the result was a repeat of their confrontation at WrestleMania XXIX last April — he simply could not match the power of The World’s Strongest Man.

In a brutal maneuver, Henry launched himself into the air and battered Ryback with a vicious cross body out of the corner. Next, Henry ended Ryback’s hopes of a win with a massive World’s Strongest Slam that was heard all the way up in the rafters of the TD Garden.

The impromptu match came about when Ryback interrupted the Survivor Series Kickoff Panel, featuring WWE Hall of Famers Mick Foley, Booker T and Bret “Hitman” Hart. After Ryback boldly declared he intimidated the three Hall of Famers, he issued an open challenge to anyone in the WWE locker room.

Answering the call, The World’s Strongest Man — returning from a right hamstring injury that shelved him for the past several months — accepted the challenge and took the fight to Ryback.

Now that one of the most dangerous Superstars is back in action, who will Mark Henry collide with next? Tune in to Raw on Monday at 8/7 CT on USA Network to find out.
