Joe Hendry, who officially joined WWE NXT full-time last November after his TNA contract expired, is set to make a surprise return to TNA this month. The announcement was made by The Hardys, revealing that Hendry will appear at TNA Genesis on January 17th, held at the Curtis Calwell Center in Dallas, Texas. This event will be broadcast live on PPV and TNA+. Hendry, a former TNA World Champion, has already made notable appearances on WWE shows like SmackDown and Saturday Night’s Main Event, with WWE reportedly planning to promote him to the main roster soon. While it’s confirmed Hendry will be at Genesis, it’s still unclear if he will compete in a match or appear on the new episode of “iMPACT!” airing two days earlier on AMC, following TNA’s new multi-year deal with the network.
Fan Take: Joe Hendry’s return to TNA, even briefly, adds an exciting bridge between his past success and future potential in WWE, giving fans a glimpse of his growing versatility and star power. This crossover highlights the increasing collaboration and fluidity in wrestling promotions, which can lead to more dynamic storytelling and opportunities for talent development in the sport.
