TNA World Champion Joe Hendry appeared on the Deloco podcast, where he discussed several topics, including the possibility of making a surprise appearance at the WWE Royal Rumble PLE during the Menโs Royal Rumble Match.
Hendry said, โAnywhere, anytime, any show is what I said to Shawn Michaels when I debuted in NXT, thatโs the first thing I said when I came back through the curtain and look at all the exciting things that it led to. That obviously would be a huge honor and a privilege and something thatโs synonymous with our business. What I will say is thisโฆ So when you are a wrestler coming up through, youโre thinking about yourself in the path youโre gonna take but when you are the champion, your job is to do whatโs best for the company.โ
On being a soldier for TNA Wrestling:
โYou now have a responsibility. So I am a soldier for TNA Wrestling. So this partnership is amazing because thereโs so many mutual benefits for both companies. So it really is as simple as thisโฆ If TNA pick up the phone and they say, โJoe, itโs time to go.โ It doesnโt matter what event it is, where in the world it is. If TNA management tell me thatโs what the objective is, I will move forward. So what I will do is do what TNA Wrestling asks me to do. All Iโll say is Iโm ready for all the amazing and exciting potential opportunities that are on the table. It really feels like anything could happen in the world of professional wrestling.โ
