From TNA World Champion to NXT Champion

Here is my road from TNA to WWE, in the order it happened, from the Digital Media Championship to the NXT Championship.

What happened at TNA?

I returned to Impact, now TNA, in 2022. That October I won the Digital Media Championship, and in 2024 I won the Turkey Bowl. Then, at Genesis in January 2025, I won the TNA World Championship and held it for 126 days.

How did I end up at the Royal Rumble?

While I was TNA World Champion I entered the 2025 Royal Rumble at number 15. A few months later I wrestled Randy Orton at WrestleMania 41. I was the first TNA World Champion to enter the Rumble and to wrestle at WrestleMania.

When did I join WWE?

I signed with WWE in November 2025. On 3 February 2026 I won the NXT Championship.

What came before all that?

I made my pro debut on 12 October 2013 and wrestled for ICW from 2013 to 2019. At Discovery Wrestling I held the Y Division Championship for a record 1,280 days, from 2019 to 2023. Along the way I also wrestled for WCPW and Ring of Honor.

Where does the merch fit in?

Every step of that road had the same soundtrack: I Believe in Joe Hendry. That line, the JH monogram and We Believe are what you will find on the merch:

• For show night: the full line in big letters, made to be seen from the cheap seats.
• For every day: the JH monogram, smaller and cleaner.
• For the cold arenas: any design on a sweatshirt or hoodie.

Every product page has its own size chart, so check your fit before you order.
