Joe Hendry Makes Surprise Appearance At WWE Saturday Night's Main Event (WWE News)
Say his name, and he appears...
As the wrestling world celebrated the legendary career of John Cena at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event last night, that SNME featured a surprise appearance from Joe Hendry. Nowadays a WWE-contracted talent following his departure from TNA, Hendry appeared in a segment featuring the Miz and R-Truth.
With the focus having cut to Joe Tessitore and Stephanie McMahon in the Okerlund position, Stephanie was cut off mid-sentence by an irate Miz standing in the middle of the ring. The former two-time WWE Champion ranted about how big a role he had in John Cena's career, once again pointing to the pair's WrestleMania 27 main event, before he was then interrupted by R-Truth.
Playing off Miz switching 'balls' on SmackDown several weeks ago in order to earn himself a second shot in The Last Time Is Now Tournament, R-Truth said how he'd discovered whose 'balls' Miz had switched out for his own. As Miz opened the ball in question, a piece of paper read "Joe Hendry". And when Miz said that name, Joe Hendry of course appeared on the ring apron, complete with his ever-popular entrance theme.
What followed was an impromptu match of sorts, with Hendy laying out Miz with the Standing Ovation, and R-Truth counting the 1-2-3, before the two babyfaces posed for the Washington crowd.
A former TNA World Champion, Joe Hendry had been appearing semi-regularly for the NXT brand since last summer, and reports emerged last month that the hugely charismatic Scot had now formally signed with the market leader.
