At first, the heavyweight worked alone, but in 1997, Henry joined the Nation of Domination, which also featured "The Rock." The group broke up a year later and Henry went back to singles competition.
The wrestler captured the WWE European Championship in 1999 before he took time off to prepare for another Strongman competition. By 2002, the WWE superstar returned to the squared ring and was drafted to the Smackdown lineup. Henry has also appeared on Raw. The big man has gone toe-to-toe with some of the WWE top stars such as Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, Rob Van Dam, Batista, and Big Show. Henry is a force to be feared every time he steps into the ring and challenges his opponents. The future doesn't look good for anybody who gets in Henry's way. After battling back from many obstacles and injuries suffered throughout his career, the WWE wrestler is at the top of his game.
The native of Texas reached the pinnacle of his career after he was drafted to the Land of the Extreme and won the ECW championship. Flex magazine labeled Henry as the "Second Strongest Man That Ever Lived." Now that he's on Raw, the World's Strongest Man can look to add more gold to his resume. With his unmatched strength, it might not be long before the big man reigns as the supreme WWE Champion on Monday nights.
"Chavito" started wrestling at an early age. He made his official in-ring debut in Mexico before he traveled around the world to compete with other wrestlers. Guerrero made his WWE debut in 2001, and has captured the Cruiserweight and Tag Team Championships multiple times. He fulfilled a long-time dream when he teamed with his late uncle, Eddie Guerrero, to win gold in 2002.
Following Eddie's death in November 2005, Chavo has dedicated every match to his uncle. The 5-foot-9, 215-pounder from El Paso, Texas adopted Eddie's signature Frog Splash as his own finishing maneuver. In 2008, the self-proclaimed "Mexican Warrior" aggressively pursued the ECW Championship. The tough grappler eventually won that title, which was his greatest wrestling accomplishment to date.
Since capturing the ECW Championship, Chavo has returned to Smackdown and Raw, aligning himself with his aunt and general manager of the WWE, Vickie Guerrero. No matter who he is with or against, Chavo is loyal to his bloodline and a proud member of one of the most celebrated families in WWE history. His gene line reads something out of wrestling history, as his grandfather was the legendary wrestler and promoter Gory Guerrero.
