Shawn Michaels Invites Joe Hendry to NXT to Confront Trick Williams – The tension between NXT and TNA Wrestling is heating up following the events at TNA Rebellion 2025. After Joe Hendry retained his TNA World Championship by defeating Frankie Kazarian and Ethan Page in a triple threat match, NXT Champion Trick Williams launched a surprise attack.
Hendry secured the victory by hitting his Standing Ovation chokeslam on Page for the win. However, before he could fully celebrate, Williams blindsided him with a spin kick followed by his signature Trick Shot knee. Williams then mockingly draped the TNA World Title belt across Hendry’s body, adding insult to injury. Although Trick never mentioned Hendry by name, the statement was clear.
Now, NXT’s top decision-maker Shawn Michaels has publicly acknowledged Hendry by name, offering him the chance to “settle the score and whoop that trick.” Given Michaels’ comments and the unfolding story, all signs point to Joe Hendry making an appearance on this Tuesday’s episode of WWE NXT.
This brewing rivalry marks another step in the growing partnership between WWE’s NXT brand and TNA Wrestling, with crossover appearances becoming increasingly common. Hendry’s arrival on NXT could set the stage for an explosive confrontation with Williams, potentially impacting both champions’ ongoing storylines.
Fans will have to tune into NXT to see if Hendry answers the call — and if Trick Williams will have to face the consequences of his Rebellion ambush.
