Joe Hendry has officially become a star in WWE.
His absence from the recent TNA Bound for Glory pay-per-view surprised many, especially since he has been active in WWE rather than appearing on the NXT brand.
According to an update from Fightful Select, there’s a solid reason for this. Hendry is now officially recognized as a WWE talent.
A move to WWE has long been anticipated since the 37-year-old gained attention with his theme song and began his appearances on the developmental brand. Shawn Michaels has openly supported Hendry and even advocated for WWE to buy out his contract with TNA.
Reports indicate that Hendry has finally reached an agreement, although he still has a few months remaining on his contract with the promotion affiliated with Anthem.
Hendry is collaborating with his agents to facilitate the transition, but TNA officials seem less than enthusiastic. While he is not scheduled to participate in TNA’s upcoming show, he resides locally and has shown up to support a former colleague.
It remains uncertain if WWE will make an official announcement about Hendry’s status, but he is widely expected to take part in John Cena’s Last Time is Now tournament.
Fan Take: This news is significant for NXT fans as it marks a shift in talent dynamics in WWE, potentially reshaping the brand’s future. Hendry’s presence could spark exciting storylines and elevate the overall competitive landscape in the sport.
