Say his name and he appears! TNA World Heavyweight Champion Joe Hendry made his WrestleMania debut last night.
The Apex Predator, Randy Orton, was initially scheduled to wrestle Kevin Owens at WrestleMania. But since Owens needed to undergo surgery in his neck, Orton was left without an opponent. Thus Orton had issued an Open Challenge for WrestleMania 41 Night 2. Randy Orton came out and was awaiting his opponent. The person who accepted the challenge was the Prestigious One, Joe Hendry.
WWE CCO Triple H took to Twitter to react to the surprise appearance of Joe Hendry.
TNA Wrestling also shared a tweet that mentioned that it was an iconic moment for WrestleMania, The Prestigious One, and the Nashville-based promotion.
“An iconic #WrestleMania moment. @WWE @joehendry Photos courtesy of @OfficialPWI,” TNA Wrestling tweeted.
The widow of John Huber, Amanda Huber, took to Twitter to reveal that her son, Brodie Lee Jr., had predicted that Joe Hendry will be Randy Orton’s opponent and his prediction came true.
One-half of the TNA World Tag Team Champions, Matt Hardy, also took to Twitter to share his excitement for Hendry’s WrestleMania debut.
Chris Bey also shared a tweet chiming in on The Prestigious One’s WrestleMania debut.
“And I quote “JOE WHAT THE F**K!” @joehendry#WrestleMania,” Chris Bey tweeted.
The Global Hero also commented on his appearance, reflecting on the fact that he managed to wrestle Randy Orton on the grandest stage of them all.
“I just wrestled Randy Orton at WrestleMania,” Joe Hendry said.
The Global Hero put on a show for the fans, but in the end, an RKO out of nowhere later, Orton pinned Hendry to pick up the win.
