Joe Hendry called up to Raw, will have concert on next week’s episode

Joe Hendry will be joining the Raw roster starting from next week’s show, becoming the third star from NXT to be called up to the red brand following Ethan Page and Sol Ruca.

The former TNA and NXT champion will be having a concert on the Raw episode from Laredo, Texas, something which Raw commentator Corey Graves did not particularly like and wondered whose name they should call to make Henry go away.

Hendry signed with WWE in November 2025 and joined NXT. He had several NXT appearances under his belt already thanks to TNA’s partnership with WWE. Last year he was Randy Orton’s surprise opponent at WrestleMania while he was still TNA champion, replacing the injured Kevin Owens.
