Joe Hendry: Me winning the TNA World title at Slammiversary is ‘best for business’
Joe Hendry has had a busy last couple of weeks, appearing numerous times on WWE NXT while also maintaining his indie appearances and appearing on TNA Impact. He is currently the talk of the town as his WWE NXT debut amassed over 1.2 million views on YouTube in under three weeks and more than 17.9 million views and counting on X — becoming the most liked video for WWE since WrestleMania XL.
This Saturday in Montreal, Hendry will join four other men in challenging for Moose’s TNA Wrestling World title at Slammiversary in a six-way that includes Josh Alexander, Frankie Kazarian, Nic Nemeth and Steve Maclin.
Hendry has never held that title before, but is the longest reigning TNA Digital Media Champion, having held the belt for 266 days back in 2022.
In a recent interview we did, we spoke about the match and what it would mean to him to walk out as champion, explaining why he feels he should win the title because that is what is best for business.
“Sorry to everyone else, but I think me winning the TNA World Championship is absolutely what is best for business. It’s what the fans want and I think we’re an era where the fans are getting what they want. So I am going to go to Montreal and I will deliver what the fans want to see. I will become TNA World Champion. I really believe something special is happening right now and I think I have what it takes to be the guy in TNA Wrestling. As amazing as our roster is, all the people in this match are unbelievable but I really do feel this is my time and I think that the fans feel that too.”
