Joe Hendry and Big Boom A.J. of the Costco Guys have shared their mutual respect after both went viral in pro wrestling in 2024. On X, it was shared that the pair had taken the #1 and #3 most-viewed wrestling clips on the platform this year. In response, Hendry pondered how he could top his surprise debut in NXT, which earned 18.7 million viewers, in 2025.
Big Boom A.J. and Big Justice’s debut on AEW Dynamite reached an impressive 10.8 million views and saw the pair appear ahead of A.J.’s match at the Full Gear kick-off show. In response, A.J. was honored to be a part of the list alongside the viral Scottish wrestler.
A.J.’s victory over QT Marshall marked his first match in years, but may not be his last on a major stage. A.J. has spoken to AEW higher-ups and is open to returning for a future match. Unfortunately for fans eager to see the Costco Guy bring the ‘boom,’ A.J. will first have to recover from a broken foot suffered last Saturday night.
As for Hendry, he remains one to watch, especially with reports that his TNA contract is set to expire in 2025. Hendry has also yet to capture the TNA World Championship, and most recently came up short at Bound for Glory thanks to the efforts of John Layfield. Many fans believe TNA needs to ‘pull the trigger’ on Hendry before it’s too late for all involved.
