The TNA World Champion addresses possibly entering the 2025 men's Royal Rumble match.
Many fans have wondered if someone will say Joe Hendry's name and he will appear in the men's Royal Rumble match this year, with Hendry also teasing on social media about the possibility.
In an interview with the Deloco podcast, Hendry was asked about a possible Royal Rumble appearance, with the TNA World Champion reminding people of what he told Shawn Michaels after his first appearance in NXT.
"Anywhere, anytime, any show is what I said to Shawn Michaels when I debuted in NXT, that'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 that's synonymous with our business. What I will say is this... So when you are a wrestler coming up through, you're thinking about yourself in the path you're gonna take but when you are the champion, your job is to do what's best for the company. You now have a responsibility. So I am a soldier for TNA Wrestling. So this partnership is amazing because there's so many mutual benefits for both companies. So it really is as simple as this... If TNA pick up the phone and they say, 'Joe, it's time to go.' It doesn't matter what event it is, where in the world it is. If TNA management tell me that's what the objective is, I will move forward. So what I will do is do what TNA Wrestling asks me to do. All I'll say is I'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."
At TNA Genesis last weekend, Hendry captured the TNA World Championship and had a specific celebration in mind for after. You can read more about that here.
