Vince McMahon’s future may be up in the air, but WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry says the billionaire isn’t losing any sleep over it.

In an interview with Alfred Konuwa of Forbes, Henry was asked about McMahon’s next move following his legal scandals and exit from WWE’s day-to-day operations—and his answer was blunt.

Henry made it clear that with McMahon’s fortune and reputation, the man can do whatever he pleases, no matter how much backlash comes his way.

“I have no idea [about Vince McMahon’s future.] I have zero idea, but I’m going to tell you something. If I had $7 billion, I would do whatever I wanted to do and nothing you or nobody else was going to stop me from doing it.”

Henry also pointed out that, legally speaking, McMahon never faced prison time over the allegations against him—something that, in Henry’s eyes, leaves the door wide open for McMahon to stay involved however he chooses.

“So he can do whatever he wants. He didn’t go to prison. The world is very forgiving.”

McMahon stepped away from WWE leadership earlier this year following lawsuits and mounting scrutiny, but speculation continues over whether he’ll find his way back into the industry—or into new ventures entirely. For Henry, McMahon’s wealth and influence make him untouchable in many ways.
