While NXT Heatwave did not have any matches or appearances by any TNA star, the show still had an ending that got people talking.

After Page was crowned the new NXT champion and the credits graphic showed up on the screen, the show did not fade to black, but rather, faded into a video of Joe Hendry doing his head swivel.

“Say his name, and he appears at #NXTHeatwave,” the TNA Wrestling X account posted after the tease aired.

Hendry made a quick appearance last month on NXT television as one of the participants in the 25-man battle royal to crown a number one contender for the NXT title. Hendry was the first one eliminated by fellow TNA star Frankie Kazarian, a move which did not go over very well by the NXT crowd.

Shawn Michaels said earlier this week during a conference call with the press that he would love to have Hendry back and nothing would thrill him more than to have the opportunity to work with him again.
