Joe Hendry Competes for NXT Championship

TNA star Joe Hendry is set to headline WWE NXT's No Mercy event against Ethan Page for the NXT Championship, with commentators Bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer discussing the potential implications of Hendry's victory for both promotions. While Ray sees this as a significant crossover moment, Dreamer believes it would not be unprecedented as wrestlers from outside companies have won titles before. Hendry's recent rise to prominence includes a viral theme song and a sold-out performance in Louisville, showcasing his growing popularity. He expressed excitement about the opportunity to change the wrestling landscape at No Mercy, where former NXT Champion Trick Williams will officiate the match. Former TNA President Scott D'Amore praised Hendry's journey, stating that his success is long overdue and indicative of his talent. Overall, the collaboration between NXT and TNA has been seen as beneficial by wrestlers like Wes Lee, who appreciates the blending of styles between the two companies.
