The people of Redwood Falls, Minnesota proved they believe in Joe Hendry by celebrating an official day dedicated to the viral TNA Wrestling star. Hendry took to Twitter to announce that the Mayor of Redwood Falls has officially declared August 17th as “Joe Hendry Day.” Initially, Hendry thought it might have been a joke, but it has been officially approved by both the Mayor and the city council.
Joe Hendry’s Whirlwind Momentum
This accolade is just the latest headling-generating success for Hendry, who is proving to be a hit both in and outside of TNA Wrestling. Hendry has been a crucial part in the crossover between NXT and TNA. On the July 30, Great American Bash episode of NXT, Hendry performed a live concert, and the following week, he secured a victory against Joe Coffey. Hendry has also competed in a battle royal for the gold brand, and more recently, has shared his intentions to become WWE NXT Champion.
What’s Next?
Hendry will be a part of a triple threat match on this week’s episode of WWE NXT and will face Pete Dunne and Wes Lee. The winner will earn a shot at WWE NXT Champion Ethan Page at NXT No Mercy. That show will take place on September 1 from the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado. Given the momentum Hendry has been on in WWE NXT and TNA Wrestling, many fans consider him the favorite in this match.
