Joe Hendry is set to get a chance to right one of the biggest wrongs of his career as he gets another shot at the TNA World Championship.

On May 25th, Trick Williams and Joe Hendry went to war at Battleground for the TNA World Championship. In the end, it was a title belt to the head of Hendry in front of the referee that proved decisive.

Trick Williams tried to use the TNA World Title belt to attack Hendry, but was stopped by the WWE official calling the bout. The referee left the belt lying in the ring as he went to count the pinfall when Hendry rolled Williams up. The challenger kicked out and avoided a Standing Ovation with a thumb to Hendry’s eye. Williams then dropped Hendry face-first into the title belt. A Trick Shot proved to be decisive as Williams captured the TNA World Title to make history.

Joe Hendry Heading To TNA Slammiversary

One TNA star was absolutely furious that an NXT star now holds the company’s biggest title, and Williams has successfully defended the gold against Mike Santana and Elijah. But now, Joe Hendry is back in the title picture.

TNA took to social media to reveal that Joe Hendry will get his shot at the TNA World Championship at Slammiversary:

BREAKING: @joehendry will get a TNA World Championship rematch at #TNASlammiversary LIVE on PPV and TNA+ on July 20 from the UBS Arena on Long Island, NY. Get tickets at http://TNAWrestling.com!

However, things might not be as straightforward for Hendry or Williams. At the most recent TNA TV tapings, Mike Santana made clear he wanted both men in a three-way match for the gold, but that has yet to be made official.
