Current TNA World Champion Joe Hendry has discussed the fan support behind his WWE Royal Rumble 2025 appearance.
After months of speculation and expectation from the fans, TNA Wrestling’s Joe Hendry debuted on the WWE main r0ster as the number 15 entrant in the Men’s Royal Rumble Match.
Only spending four minutes in the bout, Hendry was still able to leave an impression on the Indianapolis crowd before being eliminated by Roman Reigns.
In a new interview with Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, Joe Hendry was asked about the fan support behind his WWE Royal Rumble appearance. He answered:
“It is kind of scary sometimes when I think about, I have delivered on kind of every single thing that I’ve hinted at over the last couple years.”
“It’s been a wild journey. Look, I take a lot of what I say from the meet and greets. So every meet and greet I did for well over a year was, ‘You gonna be in the Rumble? Are you gonna be in the Rumble? Are you gonna be in the Rumble?’”
“It’s like that Simpsons episode where they’re like, ‘Can you take us to Mount Splashmore? Can you take us to Mount Splashmore?’ That was what I got every single time.”
“So it was one of those things where, if the fan base are calling for it, then I’m gonna start steering into it because that’s the formula. The formula is going, what are people saying? What do people want? What might be feasible?”
“The crazy thing is I hinted at it a few times, but I didn’t know about the Rumble until the week of. It’s been an awesome experience. I continue to say outrageous things, so we’ll see whether they happen or not,”
There is no word on if Hendry will make another appearance on WWE TV at the time of this writing.
