Ex-World Champion’s Move To WWE Confirmed

Former TNA World Champion Joe Hendry is moving to WWE.

Hendry is currently under contract with TNA Wrestling but has been making regular appearances on NXT TV for a while. While still contracted to TNA, he is being gradually phased out of TNA programming as part of a transition plan to WWE. The general expectation among insiders is that he will become a full-time WWE wrestler soon.

While speaking to his co-hosts Alex “Goldenboy” Mendez and Jake Bennett on the latest edition of The REBOOKED Wrestling podcast, TNA commentator Matt Rehwoldt (fka Aiden English) said that Hendry heading to WWE is not a matter of if, but when. This statement, coming from a TNA personality, confirms that Hendry’s eventual destination is Triple H’s locker room.

I mean, it’s no secret, clearly, Joe is headed to WWE NXT. I don’t know when that official switch will happen from a paperwork standpoint, but it’s clear that’s the direction. (From 5:42)
