According to the Wrestling Observer, WWE Hall Of Famer & current AEW Personality Mark Henry also recorded a video for Cena, but it did not air on RAW:
“The basic story behind this is that on 6/24, Bruce Prichard called (Tony) Khan and asked about having clips from those 3 guys as well as Mark Henry for RAW for Cena’s 20th anniversary.
Khan felt that it sounded like they were doing a good show and it was a nice deal, and that he and everyone has a lot of respect for Cena.
He said he was fine with it but it was up to the talent if they wanted to do the videos.”
