Joe Hendry Says WWE Nearly Signed Him Years Before TNA Fame Changed Everything

TLDR

Joe Hendry revealed that WWE nearly signed him in 2016 for the original United Kingdom Tournament, but he's glad it didn't happen because he didn't feel ready at the time. Speaking at Insight with Chris Van Vliet Live in Tampa, Hendry explained that he had only debuted 2-3 years prior and was still developing as a performer compared to established names like Pete Dunne and Trent Seven. Hendry believes everything worked out as it should, as he went on to become TNA World Champion before eventually joining WWE full-time on RAW and winning the NXT Championship.
