As noted before, Joe Hendry is currently expected to be leaving TNA Wrestling and joining WWE full-time in early 2026. Hendry is also currently expected to be phased out of TNA’s plans in the lead-up to his expected departure.
A recent episode of the Battleground Podcast featured TNA President Carlos Silva as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Silva’s thoughts about if Hendry is still a TNA star and the rumors of him leaving the company by early 2026.
“That’s correct. Yes, he is. You know, he is until he’s not. But he is. And Joe’s been great. Joe’s been great for us. Joe’s been great with WWE and NXT. We’ll continue to sort of work through that as good partners do.”
