Hendry\’s win has been a long-time coming for arguably the most popular star in TNA and one of the most popular names in wrestling today. Joe challenged for the title at Slammiversary in a match won by Nic Nemeth. At Bound for Glory, Hendry challenged Nemeth for the title but interference by John Layfield cost him the match.
These previous setbacks had led to fans questioning if TNA would ever put the title on Hendry or if they had failed to pull the trigger in time to capitalize on Joe\’s viral popularity. The title marks Hendry\’s first World Championship in a major promotion and he is a former TNA Digital Media Champion.
Now as TNA World Champion, the question remains as to what\’s next for Hendry, who fans have predicted will compete in the Men\’s Royal Rumble match on February 1. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on Joe Hendry after the new TNA World Champion massive win at Genesis.
