Joe Hendry’s Championship Concert on the February 20th episode of TNA iMPACT! Live

As The Colons prepared to attack Hendry, Elijah (formerly known as Elias in WWE) made his TNA debut by coming to the champion’s rescue. Elijah arrived at the ring playing his guitar, establishing his musical character similar to his previous WWE persona.

Following the confrontation, Elijah joined Hendry in the ring for a musical performance. The segment concluded with TNA authority figure Santino Marella announcing that Hendry and Elijah would team up against The Colons later in the broadcast.

Before The Colons’ interruption, Hendry had referenced his elimination by Roman Reigns at the WWE Royal Rumble and also mentioned John Cena during his concert performance.

The surprise debut adds another former WWE talent to TNA’s roster, building on the company’s recent strategy of acquiring established names to strengthen their television product.
