The ongoing TNA and WWE collaboration saw one of the most anticipated crossover appearances finally take place on WWE NXT last week as the popular Joe Hendry finally came through the forbidden door.
At the start of the show, Hendry, despite being last-minute call, made a surprise appearance, announcing his participation in a 25-man battle royal to determine the next No.1 contender for the NXT Title at Heatwave.
Although he was the first man to be eliminated from the match, his crossover made major headlines and achieved impressive numbers for the company, making it one of the most viewed videos across social platforms, notably on WWE NXT’s Instagram reels.
Moreover, acknowledging that certain videos did higher numbers than his from last year, Joe Hendry pulled an interesting trick to take the credit himself. He took to his X to drop snapshots of the reels and put his face on each one of them, pointing to the fact that it was his presence that fetched the numbers for WWE NXT.
“Yes there are few @WWENXT insta reels from last year that have higher numbers, but now we know why 👏 👏.”
As for his own debut that generated significant viewership and WWE also having plans for Joe Hendry moving forward, fans can look forward to multiple crossover appearances in the coming weeks.
