Joe Hendry looks back on asking for a WWE tryout.
Over the course of the last year, Hendry has made several appearances for WWE, first in NXT before making his Royal Rumble debut in the 2025 match, even interacting with Roman Reigns during his appearance.
While speaking during a recent Horror Rock'n Wrestle Fest appearance, Hendry was asked about the very first time he worked for WWE, looking back on a tryout he received with the company during his first year in wrestling.
"The very first time I worked for WWE was actually my first year in wrestling. It was 2013. Robbie Brookside, who is a coach at NXT, he was at the school I was training at at the time for a brief period, and I just went up to him and says, 'can I get a tryout?' and he got me a tryout. Simple as that, you don't ask, you don't get."
Hendry was recently revealed for a new video game appearance. You can read more about that here.
