TNA World Champion Joe Hendry triumphed over Frankie Kazarian and Ethan Page at TNA Rebellion 2025. However, Trick Williams blindsided him post-match, laying out the champion.
Williams draped the TNA World Title over Hendry in a bold taunt. This unexpected assault escalated tensions between NXT and TNA.
Shawn Michaels swiftly responded, granting Hendry a chance for retribution. He confirmed an open invitation for Hendry to appear on NXT this Tuesday.
Michaels tweeted, *‘Trick Williams crossed the line. NXT is everywhere – RAW, SmackDown and tonight at TNA Rebellion. @JoeHendry, you have an open invitation this Tuesday to come to @WWENXT and settle this issue with Trick. 8/7c @TheCW.’*
