Joe Hendry discusses WrestleMania 41.
At WrestleMania 41, Randy Orton would set an open challenge on the second night of the event that would be answered by the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Joe Hendry. Hendry would lose the bout with Orton, but argued in the days following that was not an issue for him.
While speaking on The Ariel Helwani Show on Wednesday, Hendry spoke about finding out about the match, revealing he found out a week before WrestleMania.
"I found out about [WrestleMania] a week before. I had to sit on this for a week. I got a text from Triple H, saying, can you talk... Triple H says, 'Listen, I'm sure you're aware that, Randy needs an opponent.' And yeah, that threw me off completely. I was in a state of shock, but I just knew there was a job to be done" It was a huge moment for me, and what an honor to share the ring with Randy Orton. I just wrestled Randy Orton at WrestleMania. What is going on?"
