WWE NXT delivered a stunning moment on April 23 as TNA World Champion Joe Hendry made a surprise appearance, confronting Trick Williams in front of a roaring Fontainebleau Las Vegas crowd.
Fresh off a high-profile showing at WrestleMania 41, Hendry interrupted Trick Williams mid-ring to drop some hard truths. Referencing their past partnership, Hendry accused Trick of becoming self-absorbed and entitled. “You’re not hungry. You’re entitled,” Hendry said. “You didn’t lose the NXT Title because of anyone else. You lost it because of you.”
Trick fired back, calling Hendry an outsider and dismissing his WrestleMania performance. “You were in the ring, I was in the stands,” Trick shot back. “But this isn’t your place.”
Hendry stood his ground, pointing out that he competed in front of 60,000 fans at WrestleMania and is set to defend his TNA World Title at Rebellion this weekend. Before leaving the ring, Hendry warned Trick and locked eyes with NXT Champion Oba Femi, creating a buzz-worthy tease for a possible champion vs. champion clash.
The segment ended with Hendry, Trick, and Oba in a tense standoff as fans erupted over the crossover moment.
