WWE stars Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson appeared on their Talkโn Shop podcast episode. Gallows discussed several topics, including a potential WWE Royal Rumble appearance for TNA World Champion Joe Hendry.
Gallows said, โI turned on the first live TNA in eight years. Itโs fun, you can talk about that here as WWE guys now because WWE has announced the partnership with TNA. I was thinking, โThatโs pretty cool.โ In the beginning, Joe Hendry comes out, heโs the new world champion. I didnโt know any of this. I just thought, โWell let me pop it onโโฆ They pulled the trigger on Joe Hendry. So now you wonder, does this feed into, and thereโs speculation about this, a Joe Hendry surprise Royal Rumble appearance? I would have to think yes, correct?โ
Anderson on the WWE-TNA partnership:
โThis will be a lot of fun. I think the TNA/NXT, the partnershipโs amazing for, you get the young guys from NXT can go work at a different territory, get a little different television experienceโฆ I donโt care what anybody thinks or says, any chance you get an opportunity to work with WWE, youโre getting a platform that people dream of getting.โ
