Joe Hendry is officially set to defend his TNA World Championship on an upcoming WWE show against an NXT star.
Since his match with Randy Orton at WrestleMania, Hendry has been back to making regular appearances on NXT.
He’s been embroiled in a feud with Trick Williams as of late that has progressed across both NXT TV and also TNA programming with Williams making some appearances there as well.
We now know when the rivalry will come to a head.
