Joe Hendry made sure everyone remembered his name at the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble. The reigning TNA World Champion shocked the wrestling world by making a surprise entrance in the Mens Royal Rumble match, lighting up Lucas Oil Stadium with a massive pop from the Indianapolis crowd.
Hendry put on an impressive showing, but his run was ultimately cut short when Roman Reigns eliminated him from the match. After the event, Hendry took to a WWE Digital Exclusive interview to reflect on his nightand he made it clear this wont be the last time he crosses paths with Reigns.
Its unusual for Joe Hendry to be at a loss for words, but say his name, and he appeared here in Indianapolis at the biggest Royal Rumble of all time, Hendry said. Roman Reigns, congrats. You threw Joe Hendry over the top, and Im willing to bet this isnt the last time that you and I cross paths.
But Hendry wasnt done yet. Before wrapping up, he turned his attention to another massive name in WWEJohn Cena.
Before I go, I do want to share a little bit of knowledge that was bestowed on me by one John Cena, Hendry continued. He gave me four words, and it was, Fortune favors the bold. So here I am, boldly saying John Cenas name.
The moment didnt go unnoticed by Triple H, who kept up his tradition of posting a backstage photo with debuting or surprise talent. WWEs Chief Content Officer shared an image of himself pointing at Hendry in front of the iconic WWE logo, adding even more fuel to speculation about Hendrys future with WWE.
With Hendry making waves in the Royal Rumble and calling out two of WWEs biggest names, its clear his presence in the company isnt just a one-off. Could a showdown with John Cena actually happen? And is a future clash with Roman Reigns already in the making? Drop your thoughts below!
