Ex WWE Star Makes Shock TNA Debut, Teams With Joe Hendry

An ex-WWE star has landed in TNA alongside Joe Henry.

The February 20 edition of Impact featured Joe Hendry’s Championship Concert, but not everything went quite to plan. As Hendry got into his stride, the star was interrupted by The Colons (Formerly known as Primo & Epico aka Eddie Colón & Orlando Colón)

However, there was another twist to come with Elijah, known as Elias in WWE, coming out to join Hendry for a song. This set up a tag team match later in the show between Hendry & Elijah and The Colons, which was won by the former.

Elijah is best known for his time with WWE between 2014 and 2023.

Following the show it was reported by Fightful Select that Elijah has officially signed with TNA Wrestling.

The news comes after it was confirmed that Elijah hadn’t agreed a deal with AEW, despite appearing in a vignette with The Righteous.

TNA Star Joe Hendry Ignoring WWE Speculation

Meanwhile, TNA World Champion Joe Hendry continues to be heavily linked with a jump to WWE. The star made several appearances in NXT throughout 2024 and popped up at the 2025 Royal Rumble to a big reaction from the crowd.

However, in a recent interview, Hendry insisted he’s only focused on representing TNA and elevating the World Championship.

Back in September, it was reported that Hendry had a “substantial” amount of time left on his deal.

The comments came shortly after former TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace made her first appearance as a WWE star upon signing with the company. Grace is believed to have signed a five-year “main roster level” deal despite recent appearances in NXT.
