Joe Hendry is now officially part of WWE RAW, with his first major segment already confirmed for next week’s show.
The announcement was made during the April 20 WWE RAW following WrestleMania, as commentator Michael Cole revealed that Hendry is now a member of the RAW roster. Corey Graves reacted on commentary with visible disapproval, adding to the moment.
Hendry’s first featured appearance is set for next week’s WWE RAW, where he will host a live concert segment. The show will take place in Laredo.
Hendry had previously been rumored for a main roster call-up earlier in 2026 when SmackDown expanded to three hours, but those plans did not materialize at the time. Instead, he remained in NXT, where he captured the NXT Championship and held it for 60 days.
His title reign came to an end at Stand & Deliver, where he lost the championship in a four-way match to Tony D’Angelo.
Hendry also appeared on SmackDown recently, competing in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, which was won by Royce Keys.
Next week’s WWE RAW is shaping up to feature several key segments. In addition to Hendry’s concert, Becky Lynch is scheduled to appear following her WrestleMania victory over AJ Lee to win the Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu are also advertised for the show, continuing their developing situation after WrestleMania 42.
With Hendry now officially on WWE RAW and set for a featured segment, his transition from NXT to the main roster is now complete.
