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 Menโ€™s Royal Rumble Match.

Hendry said, โ€œAnywhere, anytime, any show is what I said to Shawn Michaels when I debuted in NXT, thatโ€™s 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 thatโ€™s synonymous with our business. What I will say is thisโ€ฆ So when you are a wrestler coming up through, youโ€™re thinking about yourself in the path youโ€™re gonna take but when you are the champion, your job is to do whatโ€™s best for the company.โ€

On being a soldier for TNA Wrestling:

โ€œYou now have a responsibility. So I am a soldier for TNA Wrestling. So this partnership is amazing because thereโ€™s so many mutual benefits for both companies. So it really is as simple as thisโ€ฆ If TNA pick up the phone and they say, โ€˜Joe, itโ€™s time to go.โ€™ It doesnโ€™t matter what event it is, where in the world it is. If TNA management tell me thatโ€™s what the objective is, I will move forward. So what I will do is do what TNA Wrestling asks me to do. All Iโ€™ll say is Iโ€™m 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€
