Joe Hendry says fortune favors the bold.
TNA World Champion Joe Hendry competed in the 2025 Men's Royal Rumble Match. Though he had competed on NXT multiple times in 2024, this marked his first time competing at a main roster Premium Live Event. Roman Reigns eliminated Hendry from the match.
In a WWE Royal Rumble Exclusive, Joe Hendry commented on his appearance.
“It’s 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. Roman Reigns, congrats. You threw Joe Hendry over the top, and I’m willing to bet this isn’t the last time that you and I cross paths. But before I go, I do want to share a little bit of knowledge that was bestowed on me by one John Cena. He gave me four words, and it was, ‘Fortune favors the bold.’ So here I am, boldly saying John Cena’s name," Hendry said.
Hendry was then asked to predict when he might return to WWE programming. He noted that anything could happen in the world of professional wrestling. Hendry then stated that if enough people said his name, he would appear.
"We are in an era where anything can happen in the world of professional wrestling. You saw tonight, if enough people say his name, he will appear. Anywhere, any time, any show," Hendry said.
