Joe Hendry Vs. John Cena Match Update After WWE Royal Rumble

WWE

After being in the WWE Royal Rumble match, Joe Hendry has revealed an update on a potential future match against John Cena.

While the TNA Wrestling World Champion has been vocal in the past about wanting to have a match against WWE’s John Cena, it seems now the ‘dream match’ is a step closer to reality.

In an appearance on the Ariel Helwani Show, Joe Hendry opened up about a backstage chat with John Cena at the Rumble, saying:

“In the same way that I believed I would be in the Rumble, I’m happy to say it, I hand on heart believe that I will wrestle John Cena this year. 100%. There’s not any doubt. I had the opportunity to tell John Cena that as well.

“We had a long conversation. It was awesome. He is the greatest, and I’ll share some of it, I won’t share it all, but basically what he did say was that fortune favors the bold.

“And what he made clear is that if I want that match to happen, it’s on my shoulders, I’ve got to make it happen. I’ve got to generate the interest to make it happen – and it was almost like a challenge.

“Aside from that, he gave me some great advice, and with all the chaos of the Rumble going on, John Cena sat down with me and we had a long, meaningful conversation. He could have used that time to think about what he was doing. He instead invested the time to talk to me.

“So I think he sees something in me, but I have to prove myself now. I have to put myself in a position where me vs John Cena is one of the most compelling match-ups in professional wrestling. I feel like I can.”
