TNA World Champion Joe Hendry made a surprise appearance in the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, drawing a strong reaction from the crowd before being eliminated by Roman Reigns.
Following the premium live event, Hendry addressed his encounter with Reigns in a digital exclusive interview.
It’s unusual for Joe Hendry to be at a loss for words, but say his name, and he appeared here in Indianapolis at the biggest Royal Rumble of all time. Roman Reigns, congrats. You threw Joe Hendry over the top, and I’m willing to bet this isn’t the last time that you and I cross paths.
During the same interview, Hendry referenced previous advice from John Cena and issued a challenge for Cena’s retirement tour.
But before I go, I do want to share a little bit of knowledge that was bestowed on me by one John Cena. He gave me four words, and it was, ‘Fortune favors the bold.’ So here I am, boldly saying John Cena’s name.
