Since Joe Hendry’s TNA World Championship win at Genesis, fans have been speculating as to whether the Scottish star will be a part of next weekend’s WWE Royal Rumble event. While speaking to the Deloco Podcast, Hendry said he’d be an honor to be part of the iconic match.
“Anywhere, anytime, any show—that’s what I said to Shawn Michaels when I debuted in NXT… That would obviously be a huge honor and a privilege. It’s something that’s synonymous with our business.“
Though Hendry would relish the chance to compete in a Royal Rumble match, he admitted that becoming World Champion has given him a new sense of “responsibility.” While Hendry is now focused on doing what’s best for TNA, that may not keep him from WWE’s upcoming event.
“If TNA management tells me that’s the objective, I will move forward. So, that is what I will do—I will do what TNA Wrestling asks me to do.“
Hendry has been announced for WrestleCon during Royal Rumble weekend in Indianapolis, a fact that has many fans convinced that he will make an appearance. On February 2, the TNA star will set sail as part of Chris Jericho’s cruise.

TNA has already seen Rumble representation as Jordynne Grace’s appearance last year was well received by fans. Time will tell whether Hendry follows suit and if so, how far he gets in the pursuit of a WWE World Championship match at WrestleMania.
